From the Publisher
How many classic riddles do you know that could help you survive a dragon encounter? What dragon species attacks its victims with a "frosty blast" instead of a jet of flame? Which historical questions should you ask a dragon to determine its age? Can you write your name using only dragon runes? Learn the answers as Dr. Drake guides you through twenty-one lessons that promise to make you an undisputed expert in Dragonology!

From the Author
"This series of Elementary Lessons has been created to provide a basic introduction to dragons. It has also been designed so that it gives something in the nature of a test. If the student feels the lessons are too difficult or does not enjoy them for any reason, then perhaps now is the time for re-evaluation and for deciding whether Dragonology really ought to become one's life's work!"

From the Inside Flap
(Found inside an envelope fastened to the inside front cover is a facsimile of Dr. Ernest Drake's school report card from St. Leonard's Preparatory School in Leonard's Lea, Sussex, when young Ernest Drake was age 10 years and 11 months in the year 1848. The Headmaster's comment has proven to be prescient: "Ernest has the ability to go far, as long as he is riding on the back of one of his beloved dragons!!")

A Must Have with Dr. Drakes first book on Dragonology
My son is carrying around Dr. Drakes' two books, like he is being a scholar in Dragonology. I want to read it too!
All the little nicks and tucks like the first book, with Dr. Drakes' Report Card, and other fun finds.
It compliments the first book so well.
I just can't say enough about the Dragonology Handbook.
A Definite Must Have!

another triumph from ernest drake!
this is an awesome book!!!!It is very similar to dragonology.But it has more!We are introduced to three new dragon species.The Gargouille,The Cockatrice(it is more related to a phoenix) and the basilisk.It also has more hands-on things than Dragonology.For example you are able to make a dragon attractor there is spaces in the book you are allowed to write in and an SASD(secret and ancient society of dragonologists)library card.You can also recieve a diploma in the field of dragonology at the end of the book.But believe it or not there is more!You can write in Dragon Script,learn riddles, and even learn about dragon magic.And there is still more but i dont want to spoil the book.If you consider yourself creative or imaginative BUY THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!

A Wonderful Book
After my amazement in response to the first Dragonology, this book is just as mysterious and wonderful. What it lacks in size it makes up for in information content and outstanding drawings and little things(inkstains,antique like pages,etc). You'll learn the differences between a cockatrice and a basilisk, the migratory paths of frost dragons, how to hatch a dragon egg, and how to use Anglo Saxon runes to communicate with dragons. You'll enjoy the new dragon species not in the first book, and the homework ideas, charts, maps, and documents concealed within its mystical pages. This is a book you will not be able to put down. I have heard a review on the internet about this book, saying that it's basically the same as the other book. This book, while focusing on the same subject, is much more different than the other. It has new facts, drawings, and a new text(which is, in fact, like a school textbook). This book is as magical as the first and you will not waste your money buying it. You'll absolutely love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
