First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: No DJ. First Edition. 203pp. frontispiece. Attractive bookplate on the front pastedown.Patterned colored boards, black spine. 20 black and white plates. Superficial scratches to the boards, with wear to the very rubbed spine and spine extremities and corners of the boards. There is residue from a removed pastedown on the rear endpapers. The text and illustrations are clean and unmarked. This is a very serviceable copy. "This rare and fascinating book is filled with incredible information about the oldest mythological story in the world -- that of the dragon. Similar stories exist worldwise, in all cultures, of this elusive and powerful creature. The author, Ernest Ingersoll, has slated that the dragon is connected with the powers and doings of the earliest gods, and like them is vague, changeable and contradictory in its attributes, maintaining from first to last only one definable characteristic -- association with and control of water. All inclusive, China, India, Korea, and Japan are covered in the East, as well as Babylonian and Egyptian legends, while Welsh, English, Irish, French, and other tales of Christendom are covered in the West. Other topics like the origin of the dragon are found, plus a complete overview of the dragon as being "the divine spirit of the waters" and "the dragon as a rain god." Ingersoll contends that the dragon mythology was actually born in the East, then carried to the West later. The ancient gods of the eastern world played both good and bad roles, which caused the legends of dragon and dragon-slayer to spring up. Ingersoll contends that the dragon mythology was actually born in the East, then carried to the West later. The ancient gods of the eastern world played both good and bad roles, which caused the legends of dragon and dragon-slayer to spring up. Many of the early gods were strongly associated with dragons and serpents, as the walls of many ancient temples will attest.The name of Satan (Shatan) also came from an Oriental language of the East -- out of Persia. Most of us in the West have no idea of the depth and magnitude of dragon lore in theEastern world, but that is the most important part of the dragon story. Size: Octavo.

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Facsimile First Edition. 1968 at title page and Library of Congress number beginning with 68. A reissue of the rare original first edition of 1928 in complete facsimile form. Black full cloth boards, red impressed spine titles with red dragon vignettes, light shelf wear, bow, discoloration. Frontispiece plate of classic design: "The Persian hero Gushtap killing the dragon. From a Persian edition of Firdausi's poem, Shah Namah, seventeenth century". Pages near fine, clean; no writing. Deep red endpapers. Original bookbinding adhesive can be seen through adhered endpaper. Illustrated throughout with iconic and ancient symbols, symbology, medieval sculptures, illustrations, photography, etc. Bind fine; hinges intact. Superbly written rarity from Ernest Ingersoll, author of Birds in Legend, Fable and Folklore, &c. with an introduction by Henry Fairfield Osborn of the American Museum of Natural History, dated December 20, 1927. The dragon is the earliest known mythological creature in recorded history. In the Western World it has figured romantically in legend, literature, sculpture and painting in all times and all countries. It is sometimes a benevolent beast, sometimes a god, sometimes a demon. Descended from the snake, the lion, the eagle, falcon and hawk, its form and appearance vary as greatly as its character, from country to country. Mr. Ingersoll has searched its origin and traced its development with a grace that does not hide his erudition, and has achieved a book whose strict and comprehensive marshalling of facts will recommend itself to the scholar, while his clear style and unusual subject matter appears no less to the more caually interested reader. Features Contents include: "Introduction; Contents; Illustration Contents w/Detailed Descriptors; I Birth of the Dragon; II Wanderings of the Young Dragon; III Indian Nagas and Draconic Prototypes; IV The Divine Spirit of the Waters; V Draconic Grandparents; VI The Dragon as a Rain-God; VII Korean Water and Mountain Spirits; VIII "The Men of the Dragon Bones:; IX The Dragon in Japanese Art; X The Dragon's Precious Pearl; XI The Dragon Invades the West; XII The 'Old Serpent' and His Progeny; XIII Welsh Romances and English Legends; XIV The Dragon and the Holy Cross; XV To the Glory of St. George; a Bibligraphy; and, a detailed Index."
