Jess Crowell’s Reviews > The Book of Dragons > Status Update

The Book of Beasts would have been much better if the story had ended with the dragon returning to the book. So what if it ate people and the Manticore ate all their cats? And I didn’t like the Nurse or the Prime Minister. They’re too mean and oppressive, when they talk to the young King Lionel. Also, the description of the Hippogriff is actually that of a Pegasus. I hope the other 7 short stories are less sappy.
