Rosemary Sutcliff is a superb writer, she has taken many of the ancient classics like the Iliad and Odyssey and brought them to a child level without losing the content and poetry of the stories.

Here, she has written a book for elementary age children and like always had made it a very well told tale.

The minstrel's dragon pup is stolen from him one night at an inn and a long time later he finds his dragon at a king's menagerie and he wants the dragon back without incurring the wrath of the king. This story is endearing and any child will relate to the relationship between a favored pet and a young boy.

The illustrations, as in all her books, are excellent. Rosemary Sutcliff manages to entertain the adult reading aloud as well as the child, and that makes for a very good children's book.

My 6 year old daughter just loves this book. The dragon is so endearing, he's so much like a sweet little puppy. Her favorite part is where the minstrel rubs his tummy. It's a wonderful story of friendship with a gentle feel to it. I highly recommend it to anyone!
