highly recommended

11 year old Dragon lover gives big thumbs up!

I've read a few of the stories so far and I'm looking forward to reading more. So far I've read "The Dragon Tamers", "Perseus and Andromeda", "The Flower Queen's Daughter," "Bilbo Baggins and Smaug", "The Devil and his Grandmother", and "The Good Sword." All of the stories really held my attention and I couldn't put the book down. The only better Dragon book I've read is "Eldest." - by Louis, age 11

It was so good

I liked all the different stories. There were some stories from books that I had read before like one about Smog the dragon from The Hobbit. There were also some pretty funny dragon stories. Overall there was a nice mix of dragon stories. I highly recommend this book to kids from about age 8 and up.

Excellent selection of stories with wonderful illustrations

Never judge a book by it's cover, but in this case the inside stands up to the expection of the artwork. This is a book you can dip into time and again. The stories feel like they have been choosen with care and as well as being some of the best stories from different cultures they are accompanied and added to by wonderful illustrations of Michael Hague. With the odd poem and extracts from C.S Lewis and Tolkien it is well a rounded treasure. If you like dragon stories this is a book for you and any children you know.

enter the dragon

This is a wonderful book. My 6 year old grandson is old enough to understand the stories and the brilliant Hague illustrations will delight but not terrify him. No more "monsters under the bed and in the closet episodes." I appreciate the classic selection of writers chosen by Hague and the gentle editing aimed at introducing the younger child to fantasy literature before they are ready to take on Tolkien,C S Lewis and all the other beasties there be a wandering out there in this magic world.

IT WAS OK

This book is only some dragon stories selected from different books and myths( like The Hobbit and The Voyge of the Dawn Treader),but is still a pretty well done book, you will probably enjoy it if you REALLY like dragons.

reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4

For thousands of years, the legendary dragon has inspired awe and wonder in cultures the world over. Now Michael Hague, one of America's most beloved painters of fantasy, boldly captures seventeen classic dragon tales. Within these pages are the stories of heroic dragon slayers such as Perseus, St. George, and Sigurd, as well as the magical writings of J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis. The mythical dragon will be very real indeed for all who read these enchanting tales.
