COMMUNITY REVIEWS

great stories submitted by camelsamba on July 28, 2011, 2:23pm This is a collection of short stories about dragons. They are written in the tone of a parent telling bedtime stories. I read the ebook version to myself, but I think one or more of my boys might enjoy them. There are certainly some laugh-out-loud funny bits and pieces, but the style is a bit stilted (perhaps true to its era?). My favorite were *The Dragon Tamers*, and *The Heart of Gold and the Heart of Stone*. What's not to love in that absurd description of a hunting herd of hippopotami? (and is a herd of 75 swine really any better for a kingdom, even if they are well-behaved?)
