mat_tobin's review against another edition
3.0
Based on an old legend of the Scottish Lowlands, The Dragon of Og tells a story of the last of dragons who, left to grow on his own by his kind mother and eager Uncle, lives a solitary and quiet life under the hillside and within the pool of the land belonging to Lord of Tundergarth. But dragons live very long lives and when a new Lord comes from a different kingdom and takes the land he hears of the dragon and wishes it killed. Only his dear wife, Matilda understands its importance...
This is a sweet tale and one which would be well shared on a more intimate one-to-one level. The dragon is sweet and innocent unlike the rather cantankerous Angus Og. Pauline Baynes' illustrations throughout are an absolute delight.
