The Crazy Dragon to attend Chinese New Year Celebrations at Liverpool and Newcastle

Jan. 20, 2012 - PRLog -- The first day of the Chinese New Year falls on Monday 23rd January when we wave goodbye to the Year of the Rabbit and welcome in the Year of the Dragon.

To celebrate this there are street festivals taking place in Liverpool on Sunday 22nd January and in Newcastle-upon-Tyne on Sunday 29th January. For the first time Crazy Dragon Books will be attending these events and will even be bringing along The Crazy Dragon himself. If you come along you can browse the Crazy Dragon catalogue from the comfort of your own street festival, meet the Crazy Dragon and claim your free gift.

The Dragon is the most popular of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac and they are associated with strength, harmony and good luck. People born in this year are said to have magnetic personalities and are capable of spectacular success - although curiously none of the current BBC Dragon’s Den panel are actually Dragons. Such is the power of the tradition that in China the Year of the Dragon usually sees an increase in the birth rate.

Dragons are very goal-orientated and have an enormous self-belief, it is that self-belief that inspires others and gives them their charisma. Each year also has its own element and 2012 is a water dragon year, people born under this sign tend to be a bit more diplomatic and compassionate than other dragons.Famous dragons include Charles Darwin, John Lennon, Pierce Brosnan and The Crazy Dragon -
