"Handsomely illustrated, vividly told stories in a collection made for winter nights."
This author and illustrator have produced handsome volumes of illustrated Scottish legends and folktales, here they turn their attention to dragon tales from across the world, in stories that are elegantly told and compelling.
This is a wonderfully varied collection with water dragons, feathered serpents, even a seven-headed fire-breathing dragon and, equally enthralling, some sharp young people to stand up to them.
Theresa Breslin is an accomplished storyteller and Kate Leiper’s illustrations are wonderfully vivid and dramatic, especially the full-page ones. A treasury indeed.
