Never before published stories by New York Times
bestselling authors Jonathan Stroud, Gregory Maguire, Garth
Nix, Diana Gabaldon, and others.
Whether portrayed
as fire-breathing reptilian beasts at war with humanity or
as noble creatures capable of speech and mystically bonded
to the warriors who ride them, dragons have been found in
nearly every culture's mythology. In modern times, they can
be found far from their medieval settings in locales as
mundane as suburbia or as barren as post-apocalyptic
landscapes-and in The Dragon Book, today's greatest
fantasists reignite the fire with legendary tales that will
consume readers' imaginations.
