I bought this book for my 10 year old neice and she absolutely loves it! If, like me, you grew up reading Brian Froud's faerie books, the Pan series of Gnomes and Giants, you'll love this too. It's not just for kids, the different kinds of dragons all have their history and countries of origin based in fact, the Tasmanian Dragons are excellent. I'll stop ranting, I'm just so pleased books like this are still made, beautifully bound, illustrated and written, total bargain and it's now my niece's official Favourite Book!
