Two kingdoms, two dragons - which side will win, or will peace prevail? The kingdoms of Arbor with its lush forests, and Pomosa rich with farmland, have no love between them, and the children have taken to sneaking across the borders to thieve. If only they would share their produce. But the Kings decide to fight, instead... with dragons. But what kind of future will that bring? Written by multi-award-winning author Geraldine McCaughrean and with illustrations by renowned artist Peter Malone, this picture book with a classic feel is a perfect reflection of contemporary strife and conflict around the world. This stunning picture book is one for every child... eloquent and lyrical Sunday Times

Reviews for A Tale of Two Dragons

This stunning picture book is one for every child... eloquent and lyrical * Sunday Times * A powerful message about sharing and cooperation underpins this colourful, old-fashioned fable * Daily Mail * A gently satirical and gorgeously illustrated fable -- Amanda Craig * New Statesman * This story carries a poignant message for modern times, beautifully packaged as a classic fairy tale. Children will understand that sharing what you have with others is far more enjoyable and productive than being at war. The intricate watercolour illustrations have much to explore, with the graceful dragons as the stars of the show * BookTrust *
