It's very difficult to give any collection of stories a five out of five but this does come close. There are no stories that I dislike. There are those that I appreciate better than others. Ones that are more memorable and ones that stick in my mind. Then there are those that I probably will not read again. Some of these are about dragons as the main points of the plot and others the dragon only appears at the end. For a few of the dragon is metaphorical. The dragons come in all shapes and sizes and temperaments. My favorites were Lucky's dragon and the long walk.
