Heraldry: An Introduction to a Noble Tradition
Michel Pastoureau, Francisca Garvie (Translator)

Including a glossary of crests, a history of the European tradition of heraldry explains its origins, the meaning of its colors and symbols, and its survival in the world's flags, emblems, and corporate logos.

The art of heraldry is a living vestige of the great medieval world of European chivalry. Gone are the knights-in-armor, the castles are in ruins, and many of the families who bore these proud coats of arms have disappeared, but the tradition of the heraldic crest survives in the flags, emblems, and corporate logos of the modern world. Where does heraldry come from? How did it begin? What do the colors and symbols mean? Read and discover a world of splendid pageantry. Order it now at Amazon.com!

The Book of Weird
“Being a most Desirable Lexicon of the Fantastical, Trolls and Vampires, Wherein Kings and Dragons, to say nothing of Elves and Gnomes, Queens, Knaves and Werewolves are made Manifest, and many, many further Revelations of the Mystical Order of Things are brought to light.”

Barbara Ninde Byfield; A Dolphin Herald, 1973.

A mother lode of knowledge for those who wish to deal in the twilight worlds of the Heroic, the Fantastical, and the Mysterious, this book will delight fans of arcana and the occult. Whether one is faced with a gnome or dwarf, troll or ogre, elf or fairy, browsing through this fact-filled, fun-filled compendium will divulge a treasure trove of fascinating facts. Line art.
