Dragonsblood
A Story
by Eugene Schwartz
Illustrated by Kris Carlson
This story is one of persistence and courage and a fable about ecology, telling an epic tale that spans continents and countries.
Dragonsblood begins with a group of children doing battle with a dragon in medieval Europe and ends with the aftermath of a disasterous oil spill in Alaska. Are these two events—although distant in time and space, connected in some way? Can a dragon be slain, or must he be overcome again and again?
The powerful themes of Dragonsblood are enhanced by dramatic, full-color blackboard drawings, marking the first time this medium has been employed to illustrate a book.
