Born with this century, it is one of the most beloved children's books ever written. With this book, L. Frank Baum fulfilled his wish to create an American fairy tale in tune with the twentieth century, one 'written solely to please children.' Now, eight decades later, Michael Hague's extraordinary illustrations show us the enchanted land of Oz as it has never been seen before. The inhabitants of Oz have become part of American folklore. When Dorothy and Toto are suddenly swept off the plains of Kansas to the land of Oz, they meet up with some of the most endearing characters ever created -- the Scarecrow, the Tin Wood-man, and the Cowardly Lion. Together, they set off on a fantastic journey down the yellow brick road in search of the wonderful Wizard of Oz."

Now Michael Hague, one of America's most beloved painters of fantasy, boldly captures seventeen classic dragon tales, armed only with the magic of his paintbrush. Here beside the heroics of Perseus, St. George, and Sigurd are the adventures of the girl who slew a dragon and became queen of China, as well as the dazzling comic twists of Kenneth Grahame's The Reluctant Dragon and E. Nesbit's The Dragon Tamers. Here too are such magical authors as J.R.R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and Italo Calvino. The mythical dragon will be very real indeed for all who read these enchanting tales and pore over the twenty full-color and sixteen black-and-white illustrations. Michael Hague's art has never breathed more fire."
