Although the College of Cardinals is the most prestigious and venerable body at the heart of the Catholic Church, no consolidated work on its members had appeared in well over 150 years. This volume finally presents an authoritative roll of the college and of the coats-of arms used by the members of the College, and will therefore be warmly welcomed.

The ancient dragon Federigo il Barbarossa, more commonly known as Fred, reminisces about the good old days when he and his cohorts ruled the world, before, alas, they got above themselves and were slapped down, permanently as it turned out. During their abandoned spree, he and his fellows created creatures at will, sometimes to help out and some just because they could: the griffin, the opinicus, the basilisk, the hydra, the unicorn, the Pegasus, the questing beast, She that lives in Ness, and others.
Richly illustrated with 45 stunning black and white drawings.
