plates awash with vibrant hues. The result?

with their long beards and manes.
The stories - from such luminaries as Kenneth Grahame, J.R.R. Tolkien,
E. Nesbit, Elizabeth Coatsworth and C.S. Lewis -
are equally splendid. All ages.

Demi's Dragons and Fantastic Creatures Opulent with gold, expansive with foldout double spreads,
and lush with decorative collages of Demi's signature
marbled-paper designs, creatures bedecked with multiple mini-images of themselves
and other creatures, and oriental imagery:
an affectionate celebration of Chinese dragons in
all their rich multiplicity.
Each dragon (water, heavenly, wind, etc.) or other creature (phoenix, elephant, tortoise)
is accompanied by a rather uninspired couplet summarizing the creature's
symbolic significance (``The lioness fights for wisdom and truth;/she scares away demons with claw and tooth'');
the explication of the same ideas, at the end, is more prosaic, but more satisfactory.
A handsome, idiosyncratic presentation;
some of the dragons--the thunder dragon in swirling black and white,
or the dramatic red- and-black fire dragon--are magnificent.
