Countless millions of years before the emergence of humankind, the great dragon civilisation dominated
this world. Not a civilisation of artefacts and edifices, it left few traces behind it save the legends
and one mighty structure, built as a monument in the final days to the glory of a culture that knew its
time was done: Dragonhenge. The dragons were profound storytellers, and collected here are tales from their oral mythology – tales of the origins of all things, from the birth of the universe as the breath of the primordial dragon-god Qinmeartha to the gifting of colour to Creation by the heroine Syor. Also here are legends of great doings, among them the battle to stop the malevolent ice dragons in their war of conquest. Told through a fusion of magnificent art and singing prose, these tales are by turns deeply affecting and poignantly observant of foibles we may recognise in ourselves. Dragonhenge shows two brilliant creators in the full flight of their imagination. |
