Eason, Cassandra. Fabulous Creature, Mythical Monsters, and Animal Power Symbols. Westport: Greenwood Press, 2008. Print.
This one is exceptionally good in terms of a research book. Eason goes in depth to the history and symbolism of many creatures, though I will be focusing on dragons.
Obrien, Michael. A Landscape with Dragons. San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 1998. Print.
Also a very interesting book, Obrien writes little, but very well on dragons. This has to do more with the cultural side of my paper.
Paolini, Christopher. Eragon. New York: Random House, 2003. Print.
The entire novel focuses on a boy's relationship with a dragon. As one of my recent sources, this book is critical to my paper as it shows explicitly the transformation of the dragon.
Rowling, J. K. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. New York: Scholastic, 2000. Print.
The popular book series mentions dragons just briefly, but it is how they mention them that is important. J. K. Rowling is definitely a genius.
Dragons are a great subject! Eragon is a great story, though I admit that I have only see the movie. Dragons are most always see as a right of passage for a man, a mountain to climb per say. Looking forward to reading your essay.
