It started with a book.
A friend left a book for me. PLenty of my friends know I love older oddities, and this was certainly one. The book looked ancient, with a weird title: How to Be a Dragon. No author listed. No publication data. Just… a book.
And the content of that book? It spoke about how dragons hid themselves as humans, and many forgot that they’d ever been dragons. This book was intended to wake those dragons up. Remind them of who they were!
I researched. Oh, I researched! I’m pretty sure the book was released in London in 1882, and I think the author is the mysterious Almana Gwynedd. And this slim volume really is an oddity. Things like realistic fantasty or urban fantasy were not in existence yet.
And after a lot of work, I’ve finally reproduced the text and added in a bunch of footnotes so others can go on the same journey of discovery I did, as well as make their own conclusions.
The Kickstarter isn’t live… yet. But I’d love for you to click the link and then click, “Notify Me on Launch.” I want to get this curiosity to you. It’s so weird and delightful!
How to Be a Dragon — help me ressurect this weird book!
