A collection of 12 interrelated fairy stories concerning dragons.“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” ― Albert Einstein Petra and Daniel have little use for the quaint fishing Village their parents have forced them to visit on holiday. They don’t know that this Village has a legacy of Dragons. Much more fun than exploring museums or picturesque ruins, a small stone on a lonely beach offers them the chance to perform magic, match wits with elementals, steal hearts, go to war, write poetry, escape from a pirate, and sail "The Laughing Princess." Their dull, rainy world will never be the same. From the pen of the celebrated author of The Astreya Trilogy, these fantastic and slightly melancholy stories are sure to resonate with the questions you carry deep down inside as you go about your everyday life.
