Synopsis

An epic guide to the history and mythology of dragons from around the world for fantasy-mad kids by medieval historian Cait Stevenson. Dragons features sound design and special effects to enhance your listening enjoyment. Listen out for the whoosh of their wings in flight and the intense roar of their fiery breath!

For thousands of years humans have feared or revered dragons, be they winged fire-breathing monsters from Europe or slithering water gods from Asia. In this audiobook, listeners will be charmed by ancient myths and learn about the cultures that gave birth to these legendary monsters. Includes the stories of:

• Fáfnir, a dragon from Norse mythology whose greed gets the better of him
• The female dragon-slayer from the Arabic folktales One Thousand and One Nights
• Apophis, the dragon god of ancient Egyptian myth who stalks the underworld

Listeners will also learn about the link between dragons and dinosaurs, meet real-life dragons such as Komodo dragons and bearded dragons, study dragon constellations, encounter the dragons of J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth, and wonder at the popularity of games such as Dungeons & Dragons.

It’s everything kids who love dragons could ever want to know!

About Cinthya Alvarez

Cinthya Álvarez likes to draw, although she also likes movies, aliens, vampires, literature, elves, cats and dogs, talking to animals, crazy fashion, bad manners, castles, spaceships, going to the flea market and taking long walks. But when she’s not enjoying that, you’ll almost certainly catch her drawing.

She draws inspiration for her narration from nature, reading (science, current affairs, literary, comedy, are favorite genres), and by carving out time for being human (taking the kids to school, walking around town to do small errands but also to people watch and potentially bump into friends).Katharine’s narration style bends and stretches across genres, but the undercurrent is always grounded, deeply felt, and emotionally truthful.
