Advance Praise

Grades 3-6 This appealing collection of adapted folktales, myths, and legends about dragons comes from an author-illustrator team whose previous well-received works included titles devoted to Scottish fairy tales, Scottish mythological creatures, and sagas about Scottish castles. This current offering features an international scope, bringing together selections from 10 countries around the world (including, of course, Scotland). The stories are supported by background information about the roles of dragons in traditional national folklore and descriptions of associated festivals, superstitions, landmarks, and current impacts. The multipage tales adopt various tones and styles that reflect their country of origin. "Héhuà and Her Golden Dragon-Boy" reflects the formal cadence of traditional Chinese folklore; the Scottish tale of "The Dragon of Kinnoull Meets St. Serf" takes a witty, wry approach and introduces Broca, a saucy heroine reminiscent of Fiona of Shrek fame. The lustrous illustrations do a great job of capturing the majesty and awesomeness of their subjects, whether seven-headed Smok from Poland or magnificently feathered Kukulkan from the Yucatán Peninsula. Most folklore collections will want to add this handsome volume. COPYRIGHT(2025) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.-Booklist (04/01/2025):
