Bookwyrm

Description

Worm, wurm or wyrm (Old English: wyrm, Old Norse: ormʀ, ormr, Old High German: wurm), meaning serpent, are archaic terms for dragons (Old English: draca, Old Norse: dreki, Old High German: trahho) in the wider Germanic mythology and folklore, in which they are often portrayed as large venomous snakes and hoarders of gold. Especially in later tales, however, they share many common features with other dragons in European mythology, such as having wings.

This is where the name ‘Bookwyrm’ came from for this latest dragon Bookfold.

Please note that all of my bookfolds are done using pre-loved books and therefore may have damage or discolouration. With millions of books going to landfill each year, I am proud to turn mine into art.
