Merlin and the Dragons
What's This Book About
Young King Arthur, troubled by nightmares, doubts he is the rightful king of England. One rainy night, the wizard Merlin tells Arthur the story of dueling dragons and a fateful clash between good and evil, which reveals the surprising secret of the boy king’s true legacy. Li Ming’s arresting oil paintings breathe fire into this magical offering from Jane Yolen. “The legend comes alive on a grand scale, the dramatic narrative and well-wrought dialogue heightening the theatrical effect and inviting a fast-paced read-aloud.” – “School Library Journal”
