Three cheery dragon tales perfect for the holiday

In most of literature dragons are creatures to be feared- fire and destruction made manifest. In other stories, they're beasts of burden, used for their wings to take us into the skies. However, in these stories, the dragons are as multi-dimensional as humans. They have the full range of emotions, of hopes, of fears, of quirks, and the full range of Christmas Spirit. That is what further sets this book apart, is not only do dragons star in this book, but the three well written stories are all centered around Christmas. The Knight, Before Christmas by Jeff Grubb is a brilliant retelling of the Night Before Christmas with a delightful twist ending that's sure to bring a smile to your face. The Christmas Dragon is a beautiful story of man and nature, set in cold mountains with humans and dragons staring. Over all, it's well done and an interesting view. It reminds me more than a little of The Grinch. Wrathclaw's Wyrmtide by Ed Greenwood is about redemption, and is very analogous to A Christmas Carol, and is my favorite of the book. The characters are detailed, and the ending is brilliant. I recommend this highly to readers of all ages. It is a perfect holiday book for those of us who like fantasy, or someone who just wants a holiday story that's a little different than normal.
