Illustrated by
Gary Blythe.
A king's demand for a legendary moon dragon sends fortune hunters on a fruitless quest as each longs to win the promised riches. Only Alina, a young wood gatherer, knows where to seek the dragons, but she quietly chooses a very different treasure to reward her efforts. Blythe's luminous illustrations capture the soft landscapes and strong emotions of this fairy tale.
