De I remember reading a dragon classification book in the early 90s. It had a blue cover with a picture of a dragon on it. It classified dragons with illustrations and factoids. The pages were greenish-yellow colour and the pictures were mostly black outlines. It showed how big the dragons were with a dragon-to-human scale (the ferocious dragons had the humans running away from their drawings. The classifications were based on some real mythologies from all over the world and included little filmy-winged dragons small enough to sit on a peach from Asia to enormous, white dragons that lived in the icy mist of Greenland and ferocious red dragons of Western Europe that ate knights who tried to exterminate them.

De No, it wasn't a novel. It is more if an encyclopedia of dragons. It wasn't very long.

De Diana, YES! That's the one! Thank you so much! I've been looking for this book for years but nobody seemed to know what I was talking about.

Diana Welsch | 530 comments Glad to help! It's the first one I thought of, though I almost second-guessed it because you said early 90s but this book came out in 1996.
