The Importance of Dragons to Lady Librarians

DRAGONS represent times far away and marvellous, where none of the ordinary work‐a‐day worries can torment mankind. In Dragon‐Land there are turreted castles, feasts of nightingale tongues, and pomegranates served in golden bowls. Here all men are the bravest of knights, victorious in battle and love, and all women are beautiful and gentle, and wait for lovers in hidden gardens of roses and lime trees, the while they weave tapestries of unicorns and wyverns.
