Here Be Dragons by Hannah Steenbock is a collection of eight short stories about magic, mythical creatures and sorcery. From a traveling wizard that fixes toys, to a wizard who loses and searches for his magic deck of cards. From a young girl that tries to defend her village from murderous slavers, to a dialog about a collector of injured winged creatures. From an aging centaur that just happens to be a talented Bard, who is about to give the performance of his life, to a fireworks loving dwarf that lands in the middle of a conspiracy against his old friend, at his highness’s royal wedding. The last tale begins with a group of magic schools holding a masquerade ball. The prize student of one school is beside herself while trying to find out how a blue eyed wizard from another school was able to cast a charm over her. As she tries desperately to remove the spell, nothing seems to work, so she sets out to find her captivating nemesis.
Ms. Steenbock does an awesome job of putting together this group of short stories that, each in turn, will take the reader to a wondrous place. All of her characters are as unique as their stories. Hannah’s introduction to each story entices the reader to discover what is on the next page. Each story leaves you either hungry for more, or lost in its thought provoking tale. Here Be Dragons is filled with perfect bedtime stories that will fill your children’s dreams with wonder.
