I hope to update this list every month and I hope yoy enjoy these as much as I do.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">TOPIC 1<br />SHERLOCK HOLMES<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"> <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES</span></span><br />By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.<br /><br />In the begining of the story I thought the hound was quite frightening, but I found that by the end of the novel I had developed a great sympathy for the poor creature, who was only doing its masters bidding and wasn’t treated all that kindly for it either. Conspiracy, mistery and horror I think it's a must read.<br />You can read the Hound of the Baskervilles at: etext.virginia.edu/toc/modeng/public/DoyHoun.html<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">SHERLOCK HOLMES in the twenty second century</span><br /><br />The story, as the name suggests is set in 2103 where the great detective Sherlock Holmes is brought back to life in order to battle his archenemy Moriarty (well his clone anyway) and his criminal henchmen.<br />To help him with his adventures are a robot called Watson, Inspector Lestrade, and the Baker Street Irregulars. Holmes is given his old quarters in Baker Street, which were, until that point, a museum.<br />You can watch a few of the episodes on YouTube.<br />www.youtube.com (type in Sherlock Holmes in the Search Bar) Where you can also watch a few episodes of the TV series starring Jeremy Brett, and a trailer of The Hound of the Baskervilles starring Peter Cushing.<br />And there is a fan-site at; suburbanbanshee.net/holmes/index.html<br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />TOPIC 2<br />DRAGONS</span><br /><br />HERE BE DRAGONS<br /><a href="http://draconian.com/home/frameset.htm">The Dragon </a>- Here Be Dragons - Detailed information about dragon history, life-cycle, physiology, and much more.<br /><br />Lots of information on dragons, with adoption centers, shops, history, sub species, pictures and links. Here be Dragons is one of my favorite sites and is always a good starting point for dragon research.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">THE DRAGONOLOGY SERIES</span><br />Edited By: Dugald A. Steer, B.A<br />Art by: Helen Ward<br />Chief Draughtsman: Douglas Carrel<br />Pictorial Artist: Wayne Anderson<br />Artistic Direction: NGHIEM TA<br />Published by The Five Mile Press<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">THE COMPLETE BOOK OF DRAGONS</span><br />This wonderful book is a must for anyone who, like me, is mad about dragons. It contains illustrations, Dragonish facts and figures, history, spells, scale samples and is beautifully put together. Alas, the information it contains is in some places inconsistent with that found at HERE BE DRAGONS, but never the less, both are good references.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">WORKING WITH DRAGONS</span><br />The second in the Dragonology series, this book is more about how to track, communicate with and rear a dragon as well as some information on Gargouilles.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">THE DRAGON’S EYE</span><br />The first book in a new part of the Dragonology series, it gives an insight into the work and life of Dr. Ernest Drake as he and his two pupils, Beatrice and Daniel Cook embark on an extraordinary adventure of mystery, magic and danger with the help of some scaly friends.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">THE WEBSITE</span><br />www.dragonology.com<br />A little more information on the books and Dragons.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">TOPIC 3<br />WEBCOMICS AND CARTOONS</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Catena</span> <p class="MsoNormal">I absolutely love this comic. Starring a group of crazy cats (including a few angel cats), a reaper, a pet spider and a dog. It's full of imaginative fun.</p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.catenamanor.com/"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_wCmo8SqZQYU/RZOQmilvxlI/AAAAAAAAAAM/qau_q-7rXpM/s320/catena468x60.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5013509801988048466" border="0" /></a><p class="MsoNormal">Click <a href="http://www.catenamanor.com/">HERE</a> to go to Cateena<br /></p><p style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal">Patter Paws</p>Groovy artwork and illustrations of animals, both mythical and real in cartoon style and more realistic sketches.<br />Click <a href="http://www.patterpaws.com/">HERE</a> to go to Patter Paws<br /><p class="MsoNormal"><!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7025419954208295865-6547520713112467670?l=dragonscribblings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kittyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10435431841356526124noreply@blogger.com0
