Lädt ... Dragon, Dragon, and Other Tales (1975)von John Champlin Gardner
   Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  sturlington | Mar 4, 2012 |   The short stories can be twisted to teach a story, or you can just read them for sheer entertainment. Although, I'm not sure how the last story, "The Last Piece of Light," teaches anything. That story I believe can have lessons taught from it, but I don't feel that was the major intention of the story. I am definitely going to be looking for more from John Champlin Gardner. I know it was only a VERY short book, but I enjoyed every page. (  ) Dranea | Jan 17, 2011 | Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

I have very fond memories of my father reading me these darkly funny fairy tales. My favorite was the title story, but there was also a spooky story about a girl with one blue eye and one green eye, and another about the very last piece of sunlight. (
