My absolute favorite dragon anthology ever. I read it in HS and it left a profound impact on me. My favorite story was 'Lethal Perspective'- which surrounds a council of dragons discussing their accomplishments of chaos to be judged to win a trophy but one dragon in particular has a very powerful story indeed that will stick with the reader for a lifetime.

I found most of the stories to be entertaining though and you have a range from well-written fantasy to more comedic, light hearted approaches. Each story though offers a new take on an old favorite: the dragon. This is somewhat of a rare book, but if you find it or want to request it from your local library then I cannot recommend it enough. ( )
