출판사 설명
Four tales of fantasy from a twentieth-century literary master—selected as the 1975 New York Times Outstanding Book for Children
John Gardner's first children's book takes the traditional fairy tale and turns it on its head. In the title story, a meddlesome dragon meets his match. "The Tailor and the Giant" tells the story of a cowardly man who finally faces his fears. A villainous beast of burden attempts to rid himself of his master in "The Miller's Mule." And in "The Last Piece of Light," a brave young chimney-sweep saves the world from darkness.
Filled with irreverent twists on the classic elements of princes and princesses, witches and wizards, and the magical realms that they inhabit, Dragon, Dragon is a collection of fun and fantastic tales to be cherished by readers of all ages.

Great children stories
Read these to my kids at night — they loved it. Dreamlike children stories about kingdoms dealing with various problems with unique solutions. No knights shining armor, but many interesting characters.
A classic full of sly, offbeat humor
Dragon, Dragon is worth the read for The Miller's Mule alone. It's an all-timer kid's fairy tale — if you love The Princess Bride, that one is for you.
