This collection of short stories was really enjoyable. The quality was not all the same, and some were more serious than others (pirates singing badly to open up magical portals? Flying sausages and lemons? Fairy brides? What fun!)
The story of the kobold who wanted to be a dragon had me thinking for days: we need to think of the community we live in, and we have to act in such a way that it is in everyone's best interest, and where does this put my own dreams and aspirations? Is it not possible for a community to be cohesive while also honouring individuals? In our present society, we are so very individualistic, to the detriment of the community. The story paints a picture of the opposite type of society, which is all about the community to the detriment of the individual. I loved how this charming story made me ponder all of this.
