The Dragon Book
Strong storytelling and new takes on a beloved fantasy topic result in a welcome addition to the literature of dragons. (Library Journal) Whether portrayed as fire-breathing reptilian beasts or as no...ble creatures of power and grace, dragons have been found in nearly every culture's mythology. Now, in The Dragon Book, today's greatest fantasists reignite the fire... Includes stories by New York Times bestselling authors Jonathan Stroud, Gregory Maguire, Garth Nix, Diana Gabaldon, Tamora Pierce, Harry Turtledove, Sean Williams, and Tad Williams, as well as tales by Peter Beagle, Jane Yolen, Adam Stemple, Cecelia Holland, Naomi Novik, Kage Baker, Samuel Sykes, Diana Wynne Jones, Mary Rosenblum, Tanith Lee, Andy Duncan, and Bruce Coville.VOYAAs the preface says, Avram Davidson once wrote, Although the wombat is real and the dragon is not, nobody knows what a wombat looks like and everyone knows what a dragon looks like. That might be true, but no two dragons in this new collection of stories bear any resemblance to each other. There are Asian dragons, traditional monstrous western dragons, science fiction dragons, and intelligent dragon-like beasts. Following their well-received collection of original wizard stories from 2007 (which opened with the Neil Gaiman story that spawned his now-Newbery Award-winning Graveyard Book), Dann and Dozois return with a collection of nineteen original stories featuring everyone's favorite mythical beast. As different as the dragons are to each other, so too are the tones and settings, from Naomi Novik's humorous tale of a dissipated Roman Patrician who is sentenced to the impossible task of slaying a dragon and who finds succeeding more perilous than failing to Bruce Coville's dark tale of enchanted princess May Margaret who discovers that once you have been a dragon it is difficult to be a mere maiden again. Although the collection is nearly half populated by juvenile and young adult authors, the likes of Jane Yolen and her son Adam Stemple's (whose familial relationship is oddly left out of their bio) language and sexual situations make it more of an adult collection. That said, teens will still enjoy the bulk of the stories. Reviewer: Timothy Capehart

The Book of the Dragon
The mystique of dragons--soaring above castle spires, setting the world aflame--bursts into glowing life in breathtaking images by a major artist. An unforgettably original volume, The Book of the Dra...gon offers a glimpse of a culture we can only imagine. They lurk in the most hidden corners of the world: the powerful and beautiful creatures known as dragons. We know them as the terrifying beasts of fairy tales, but their own story has remained a mystery--until now. Ciruelo, an illustrator of astounding skill, delves into their secret universe, revealing a rich and fascinating culture filled with poetry, magic, enchantment, and knowledge. Each of these wondrous creatures has its own unique personality and history, and it's captured dramatically on these spectacular pages. But the revelations go beyond the images, as we gain insight into their psychological characteristics; encounter many different types (Earth Dragons, Water Dragons, Fire Dragons, and the legendary Golden Dragon); learn about their long-held customs; and explore the many legends in which they have figured so prominently--including the heroic tales of Perseus, Hercules, and Tristan.
