'The Book of Dragons' is an exciting collection of four dragon stories. The original stories were written in the 1800's by noted children's novelist Edith Nesbit and Book By You™ has edited, updated and personalized these stories for release - just in time for the holiday season. This book is ideal for children of reading age or the novel can be read to younger children as a bedtime story. Themes such as the value of friendship, perseverance and following your dreams are explored and uniquely presented in a manner only possible through a full-length book format.

Mike Pocock, founder of Book By You Publishing commented, "During these worrisome times children are surrounded with violence, commercialism and uncertainty. In creating 'The Book of Dragons', we wanted to bring back the artful form of storytelling while helping to deliver meaningful themes. We believe we have succeeded and the response from parents and children has been overwhelming. Children are motivated and enticed to read by seeing their own names, along with the familiar people and places, featured in a book. The full-length book format enables us to present stories that, when combined with personalization, evoke emotions and present significant themes in a fun and entertaining manner. Children love the world of fantasy and their imaginations run wild as their personalized characters cavort throughout the 130-page novel. This novel is vastly different from current personalized picture books that contain little or no story content."
