Another of the beautiful books of this series, Dwarfs starts us out with their protrayal in Norse legend, and then walks us through the great kingdoms of magical and highly skilled miners and metal crafters, to leprechans, house and farm elves, dangerously alienated dwarfs, and finally their leaving us because of their disillusionment. Beautifully illustrated and told.
I have now started Dragons in this series. It begins with a tale that reads very much like Bilbo's trek through the tunnel into Smaug's lair and ends much the same as well. But, instead of Bard the hero, the hero here is a very much aged Beowulf. How great! This book promises to be as delightful as the others in this series.
