具体描述
It s not that Michael Goodwin and I are in love with
dragons. What we re in love with is good writing and
good illustration -- fantasy conceived and visualized with
lively imagination and consummate skill. Dragons were
merely a theme to bind together the works of some of
our favorite writers and illustrators. How were we to
know that old masters and fine new talents would create
such marvelous serpents that we couldn t even fit them
all into one book? Dragons of Light is only the first of
two volumes. The second, Dragons of Darkness, will be
published in the fall of 1981.
These books are unique in several respects. First,
to our knowledge no publisher in recent years has tried
to create such a close bonding of story and art, with
each illustrator selected because his style of work is
particularly well-suited to the story he is visualizing.
Second, because the book is so unusual, publishers were
naturally a bit wary about committing themselves to it
before the stories had actually been put together. This
meant that we had to ask authors for stories before we
had a contract with a publisher; and because all things
in the world of publishing take time, many authors and
artists waited, with varying degrees of patience, for a
good long time before getting paid. In a world where
mortgages fall due far more regularly than freelance
writers and artists checks arrive, such forebearance
is rare. Yet without that cooperative spirit from all whose
work appears here and in the next volume, this book
would have been impossible.
