The Affairs of Dragons [MultiFormat]
by Mary C. Fairbanks
|
|
Ever meet a dragon? Well brace yourself because some are humorous, some a hazard and it's not easy to tell them apart. Dragons are not to be trifled with; the Black Dragon would have you for lunch. Some are very conceited; Percival can't pass a mirror without admiring himself. And don't ever nag a dragon, it is downright dangerous. A dragon may have allergies; poor Ah chu has hay fever! Occasionally a dragon may be wise enough to give advice to the experts. Enjoy! (Published: 2005)

And I'll confess right here, I never imagined in my wildest dreams that my newsletters would become p... more info>> (Published: 2012)
