Although none of them had a typical "happy ending", they all were very entertaining. These stories can be read by or to younger readers although I do not think they will get as much out of them as a YA reader would. The short stories can be twisted to teach a story, or you can just read them for sheer entertainment. Although, I'm not sure how the last story, "The Last Piece of Light," teaches anything. That story I believe can have lessons taught from it, but I don't feel that was the major intention of the story. I am definitely going to be looking for more from John Champlin Gardner. I know it was only a VERY short book, but I enjoyed every page. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: The classic children's collectionâ??now available as an ebook Four tales of fantasy by a twentieth-century literary masterâ??selected as the 1975 New York Times Outstanding Book for Children John Gardner's first children's book takes the traditional fairy tale and turns it on its head. In the title story, a meddlesome dragon meets his match. "The Tailor and the Giant" tells the story of a cowardly man who finally faces his fears. A villainous beast of burden attempts to rid himself of his master in "The Miller's Mule." And in "The Last Piece of Light," a brave young chimney-sweep saves the world from darkness. Filled with irreverent twists on the classic elements of princes and princesses, witches and wizards, and the magical realms that they inhabit, Dragon, Dragon is a collection of fun and fantastic tales to be cherished by readers of all ages No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I have very fond memories of my father reading me these darkly funny fairy tales. My favorite was the title story, but there was also a spooky story about a girl with one blue eye and one green eye, and another about the very last piece of sunlight. ( )
