Dragonlore: Dragon Book Series, Standalones, and History

From gold-loving villains to soulmate level partners, dragons have filled many roles in fantasy. Dragon riders in Eragon, vicious creatures in Lord of the Rings, and even the magnificent animals in A Natural History of Dragons provide endless forms to love dragons.

But they don't exist solely in the pages of a fantasy novel. Dragons have been part of human culture for centuries, across continents.

In this episode, we touch on the representation of dragons throughout history, their portrayal in our favorite books, and attempt to answer the question: could dragons have been real?

Grab a pint, pull up a chair, and settle in for this episode.
