1927. If any man with sporting tastes and a real interest in natural history were told that true dragons were still living on a remote, little known island of the East Indies, what would he do? Mr. Burden answers that he would try to make sure that the reports were founded on fact, and then, having satisfied himself, he would begin, a little secretly, perhaps, to lay his plans. This book entails such a journey in search of these true dragons and the expedition launched to find the dragons of Komodo. Handsomely illustrated throughout.
