The Dragon Book review

This is an anthology featuring 19 short tales about dragons. It's the type of book that's great to have around when you want to read something before bed or while on some sort of short break, but don't really want to deal with wondering what happens next and getting too caught up in the tale.

The tales range from classic fantasy to modern urban fantasy. There are plenty of classic themes as well as some rather new and interesting ideas about dragons.

As usual with a book of this type, the stories are hit and miss. Some are excellent and make you hope that it's just a preamble to a larger work. Others are, well, not so interesting. And I'm sure everyone's opinion about which are good and which are bad will be very different. It's definitely worthwhile if you like fantasy and especially dragons (obviously).
