Book Reviews of Here There Be Dragons
Book Review: Here There Be Magic
Summary: 5 Stars
Yolen is one of my favorite authors, and I find it hard not to gush while describing her work. Hence, the complete and utter lack of other Yolen reviews in my repertoire (gushers can be tiresome, after all). Here There Be Dragons is one of a series of three books (the other two being Here There Be Unicorns and Here There Be Witches). In it Yolen has collected some of her best stories and poems regarding dragons, both real and imagined, good and bad, friendly and frightful. Brief but fascinating blurbs offer insight into Yolen's inspirations and the thought processes that went on as she created each tale.
David Wilgus illustrates all three books in the series, showcasing a wit, insight, and creative genius that perfectly complements Yolens own literary style. (One of the best examples of Wilgus's work is right on the cover -- look at the eye). I hope to see more of his work.
My only regret is that the collection is so short. Yolen's works are so clearly and neatly structured, and so original and accessible, and yet so very deep and complex, that I wish the stories will go on and on and on, and I am often startled and a little shocked when I reach the end of one of her books, and the story does not continue unfolding beyond the covers (unlike the shining silver road in one of her tales, which continues unwinding as long as the hero or heroine stays on it).
Here There Be Dragons is no different.
Summary of Here There Be Dragons
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.
