Book Description
This multicultural children's book tells a mythical Japanese tale about dragons and adventure. Tatsu wasn't a real dragon. Jiro and Zenji made him for a festival parade, out of bamboo hoops and cloth. But as soon as he was finished, he began to feel like a real dragon, even though he didn't have any wings. When the magic balloon man blew him up so he could slither around, and gave him a tin horn for a voice, Tatsu thought it was time for him to go out and rescue a beautiful maiden in distress. That was how he met Kiku and the wicked Chief Executioner; and how, in the end, he got his wings. Young readers can follow Tatsu on his adventures all over Japan, from the Fire Festival on an island in the Inland Sea (where he was mistaken for a fire demon), to the top of an erupting volcano, in an exciting story set in the authentic Japan of feudal times.

The Dragon Painter
Author: Mary McNeil Fenollosa
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
The Dragon Painter is a novel written by Mary McNeil Fenollosa. Fenollosa was an American novelist and poet. Excerpt: "Kano's rapture in these tidings was assailed, at once, by a swarm of black conjectures. Might the boy not lose himself by the way? If he attempted to ride upon the hideous foreign trains he was certain to be injured; if on the other hand, he did not come by train, weeks, even months, might be consumed in the journey. Again, should he essay to come by boat! Then there were dangers of wind and storm. Visions of Tatsu drowned; of Tatsu heaped under a wreck of burning cars; starved to death in a solitary forest; set upon, robbed, and slain by footpads, all spun—black silhouettes in a revolving lantern—through Kano's frenzied imagination. It was at this point that Uchida had hid himself, and assumed a false name."

Book Description
"The fields shall turn to ashes and dust and the red sky will be erased, consumed by black Horses and cattle will be scattered by the plague from the west and the north Nations will rise up and fall one right after another as the plague advances harvesting its victims; Death is all that will remain Souls fall to their knees in surrender as they cry out to the father Their tears float away as the ambers in the burning fields They will wonder if he is listening They will ask, when will the father speak, does he even care? But at the darkest hour, when the walls have crumbled and it seems that all is lost he will hear you and the one who has discovered the light will be revealed and released to set you free He will carry the light that consumes the plague and cures the disease" It was the time before time, when the great tribes ruled the earth. It was the time when the supernatural and science were one and the same; when men were strong in their faith, their commitments and convictions of the heart. A young prince who is filled with “the darkness” runs away from home; he sets out on a dangerous journey to prove his merit to his family and his people. He encounters enormous challenges from man and beast, and even faces death. Unwittingly traveling the path that will lead him to his destiny; he finds love, an inner- strength he never knew exists and a light his world desperately needs.
