Curious

This is a rather curious tale. It presents itself as children's literature, and it can be read on that level, particularly since it descends now and then into rather broad pre-adolescent humor. But it also takes a sometimes obscure path through traditional motifs of old Germanic, Celtic and...

Intelligently written fairy tale in which an elf meets humans & dragon while trying to survive, questing for freedom and getting the girl. The first part of the story was a bit irritating but funny due to the elf being unfamiliar with human speech and customs. The second part has a good buildup;...

Cute for little kids - Bookwyrm Chrysalis Review

Have you ever wanted a dragon to explain the facts of life to an elf?Unfortunately, the book doesn't go very far into that scene, but there is a good deal of fun to be had.Yorshkrunsquarkljolnerstrink is the last elf. No, no need to say "bless you", that's his name. If you need the short form,...

Sacrifice

This is an incredible story of the sacrifices we make for those we love. While I originally purchased this for my dragon-crazy son, I enjoyed it far more than he did. The story line deals with keeping promises, enduring hardships, and sacrificial love, all woven together in the lives of a girl,...
