Now it includes a special section on New World dragons, before now unknown.Was Bjorn of Bromme one of the greatest explorers of the Viking Age or just a simple-minded, lice-infested barbarian with a passion for beach volleyball? Could Soong Mei Ying, a thirteenth-century teenager, really have discovered the Asiatic dragons or did she just need a good excuse to leave home? Did Dr. E. F. Liebermann perish after discovering the Common Green Draak, also known as the Awful Gurgler, or was he suffering from a severe bout of jungle madness? And does Francisco de Nuevo still live today, working as an extra on Canadian television, after discovering the secret of eternal youth in 1532?The answers to these questions and more will not be found within the pages of this book but there are a lot of great big dragons The images are realistically done with amazing detail.

This postmodern book contains several metafictive devices such as characters commenting about their own stories and other stories and new or unusual design and layout.
