This book is fantasy fiction. We believe it contains valuable lessons and themes but it may not be as explicitly Christian as the rest of our range. We recommend parents familiarise themselves with the fantasy books their children read and discuss the stories and themes with them.
Ages 10+
This imaginatively illustrated book includes eight dragon myths from China, Greece, Japan, England, Iceland, and even America—and explains why we are telling these kinds of stories.
Who doesn't love a good dragon story full of swords, scales, and trickery? This imaginatively illustrated book for kids retells ten classic dragon stories from China, Greece, Japan, England, Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, and even America.
We'll read of John Lambton, a boy who hooked a tiny, foul-smelling dragon while fishing—and lived to regret cutting it loose. We'll enjoy the strange stories of Thor trying to wrestle the World Serpent, or Susanoo using rice wine to outwit a dragon the size of eight hills. We'll shudder as we follow a hideous bird-dragon that terrorized Native Americans in Illinois.
Something in every one of us was made to fight dragons. In the Garden of Eden, it was a dragon that tricked our first parents, and, in the book of Revelation, that dragon is identified as Satan, our Accuser. At the end of Dragons and Dragonslayers, pastor and author Tim Chester explains why these stories resonate with us, and how we should live as a result.

H
Hansen T. Dragons & Dragonslayers by Tim Chester instantly captivated me as it retold the old dragon tales that we love in such a magnificent way for kids (especially an 11 year old like me)! The daring story of the Lambton Serpent, the witty fight between Susanoo and the eight-headed dragon, the ultimate sacrifice for a victory as Thor defeats the Midgard Serpent & the retell of Siegfried and the Dragon’s Heart along with the illustrations from Meghan Antkowiak, I believe that this book truly brings back dragon tales of old. But what do we have in common with these stories? And why do we love them so much? The author places a twist at the end of all these legends and relates them all to history, to a real event, to Jesus Christ, the ultimate dragonslayer. I couldn’t resist turning to another page to read a little more and I hope Tim Chester writes more books soon!
