This biography of Dracula, the first ever written in any language, makes compelling reading for both the layman and the scholar - whose appetites have been whetted but not satiated by the incomplete research done to date on the life of Dracula. This fully documented account of one of the most fascinating figures in world history is the result of ten years of research and exploration in town archives, libraries, museums, and monastaries, as well as painstaking study of local legends and ballads, ancient letters, maps, and artworks.
