Here There Be Dragons
|
| | | | "The smoke still hangs heavily over the meadow,/Circling down from the mouth of a cave,/While kneeling in prayer, full armored and haloed,/The lone knight is feeling uncertainly brave..." (from the first line) In "Here There Be Dragons, "dragons appear in every guise--ghastly, ghoulish, gentle, gargantuan--always endowed with the author's ingenious touches. Each piece is introduced with the fascinating, and often revealing, story of its making and is illustrated with the intricate, moody pencil drawings of David Wilgus.
Annotation:
A collection of stories and poems about dragons. Pencil illustrations accompany the text.
