Background
Dr. Ernest Drake is the purported author of the book; he is described as living in the 19th century and being a member of the Secret and Ancient Society of Dragonologists (S.A.S.D.). Dragonology, according to Dr. Ernest Drake, is the study and conservation of dragons, who during his time were becoming extinct due to rapidly increasing human population. The photograph of him in Dragonology bears a very close resemblance to Steer's great grandfather[citation needed]. His books, Dragonology: The Complete Book of Dragons (one hundred copies printed in 1896), The Dragonology Handbook: A Practical Course in Dragons (1893), and Dragonology: Tracking and Taming Dragons (?) were republished by the Five Mile Press, who have also created facsimiles of Wizardology and the Wizardology Handbook [both written by Merlin, the legendary wizard], Egyptology [by Emily Sands] and Pirateology [by capt. William Lubber].
