Dragonology
Dragonology is a children's book series for those around the age of 8+ about dragons, written in a non-fictional style. The series contains information on dragons, including information about how to befriend and protect them as well as an alphabet of the dragon language, ancient runes, and replica samples of Dragon Scales. The series later expanded to include figures and models, a strategic board game, card game, and a video game for the DS. Books in the series are credited to fictional authors such as Dr Ernest Drake, a member of the Secret and Ancient Society of Dragonologists, and the author of the series' first book, .
The series first launched in 2003 the United States and Canada by Candlewick Press and in the United Kingdom by Templar Publishing. The publishers would eventually publish books with similar themes on the topics of wizardry, Egyptology, pirates, and monsters.
In 2012 Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman announced that they intended to produce a film adaptation of the books.
