Millions of years before the emergence of humankind, the great dragon civilization dominated this world. It left few traces behind save legends and one mighty structure: Dragonhenge. The dragons were profound storytellers, and collected here are tales from their oral mythology. “Hugo Award winners pool their talents in Dragonhenge, an illustrated collection of eight tales and a “Proem” that celebrate the ancient dragon civilization.”—Publishers Weekly.

This is a gorgeous book, which was given to me by heathwitch more than a year ago. It took me a while to read, since I found myself wanting to read it slowly and take it all in, and I couldn't read big chunks of it at a time. It's a story - or really a collection of stories - about dragonkind, beginning with a creation myth of how the world was dreamed into existence by a dragon, all the way through to the end of the dragons' time on earth. The illustrations are stunning - I love Eggleton's vision of dragons - and Grant's text is lyrical and lovely. The story of Angrboda made me cry. I enjoyed this book very much, and am looking forward to reading "Stardragons" next. Thanks so much, Heather! (
