Product Description
Millions of years before the emergence of humankind, the great dragon civilization dominated this world. It left few traces behind save legends and one mighty structure: Dragonhenge. The dragons were profound storytellers, and collected here are tales from their oral mythology. “Hugo Award winners pool their talents in Dragonhenge, an illustrated collection of eight tales and a “Proem” that celebrate the ancient dragon civilization.”—Publishers Weekly.

Astonishing .... Sure to be a Classic!,
By jael (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dragonhenge (Hardcover)
I was blown away upon finally viewing and reading my copy of Dragonhenge. I had seen slides of some of the art, along with portions of the text as it was in final creative stages. But now, all together at last, it is a seemless and timeless masterpiece. Bob's glowing and stunning images flow beautifully within and around John's mesmerizing text, creating a visual and verbal feast for the imagination. This lovely book whispers the reality of the wisdom of the ancients, the dragon-like mythological beings who existed before the beginning of time itself. You must get a copy of this book.... no get several copies to share with everyone. It will become a classic!! Jael

Dragonhenge.. superb collaboration of two geniuses,
By jael (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dragonhenge (Hardcover)
Dragonhenge is a mesmerizing collaboration between Author John Grant and Artist Bob Eggleton. Both of these creators are well known for their many other ventures. John Grant/aka Paul Barnett, is a Chesley award winning art director, Editor, as well as being a brilliant and prolific Author. John Grant also wrote the lovely text for my book _Perceptualistics_. Then there's our Bob who's earned so many Hugo and Chesley Awards with his astonishing art through these many years. Dragonhenge, however, is something starkly unique, a seamless blending of text and art, softly framing lyrical mythological tales, passed down for thousands of years by ' the master story tellers', "Dragons".... many of them having been created well before time itself. You must pick up a book. Be sure to read it under soft lights, where multi-layered shadows will reflect the glowing imagery, and where the words will leap off the page and enter your soul. It's a wonderful wonderful book. Jael

Dragonhenge,
By
This review is from: Dragonhenge (Hardcover)
This is an extraordinary book; a book that takes a concept and builds legends around it. In reading it, you feel as though you have stumbled on a long-lost trove of lore from a vanished race. The book is presented as a series of legends about a race of dragons, from their "how we came to be" origins tale through mythic explainations of where their powers came from and how their society developed. Eggleton's illustrations are beautiful, running from very tightly-sculpted depictions to much looser work that evokes a sense of time and space while presenting only form and color for the eyes. This is a book that is sure to end up on all the dragon lovers' "wish list."
