'Late at night, when the darkness settles upon the world like a warm and comforting blanket, the wind may come to tell you a story - perhaps, like this one, a tale of angry and desperate men, of gentle and generous others, of ferocious, fire-breathing dragons, and of a war - that did not have to be . . .'
Long ago, in a far-off land, two tribes shared a common legend - they believed the mountains between them were the home of nine terrible and terrifying dragons. For generations, fear of the dragons kept the two tribes apart, until a catastrophic drought forced them into the mountains in search of food.
'Nine Dragons' tells the story of how the two tribes prepared to go to war over their dwindling resources, and how the oldest and wisest of the nine dragons convinced the others that they had to stop the battle before it started.
Based on themes from Asian folklore, and taking place in a mythical Asian setting, 'Nine Dragons' is an inspirational tale about overcoming mistrust and misunderstanding to achieve peace. The vibrant full-colour illustrations, along with the timeless story, will appeal to children and their parents.
