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.
