I grew up with this book long ago before Kindle and computers – the free way to get it now. They have both good stories and also wonderful conversations and pictures, for as Alice said, “What is the use of a book without pictures and conversation?” I hope you’ll share and enjoy.

Teaching us to be brave and full of wonder, to believe in the seeming impossible and always treasure the rare and unusual. Is it any wonder that there are a slew of marvelous Dragons in the annals of children’s literature? They crop up in Narnia and Middle Earth, in the faerie tales of the world that taught us such important lessons long ago.Īnd their number keep growing – some good, some bad – an ever present influence during our formative years. Wide-eyed with wonder, they have an innate understanding that, not only are Dragons real, but that they are all around us, just waiting to be seen. There is no more receptive audience than children. Over the years, I have spent delightful hours talking about Dragons, telling Dragon stories.
