Here There Be Dragonnes

Pigs Don't Fly #1-3

by Mary Brown

The Ring's the thing...Thing was a young girl who hid beneath a mask. Her companions included a crow, a toad, a goldfish, and a kitten. Never had a more unlikely band of unheroic heroes set off on a difficult and dangerous quest. But Thing had a ring with unusual powers...Summer was an orphan who only wanted to find a husband and settle down. But first she had to help out a blind knight with amnesia and a winged pig. But how to get those two, as well as a raggle-tail assortment of other creatures in distress, to the far-distant place where they belonged? Summer owned almost nothing except a certain magic ring...Sophie was cast adrift in London by the untimely death of her parents. Then an uncle left her a legacy that would lift her up from poverty if she took a dragon's egg into uncharted Asia.

Still love this work after thirty years.

Poetry and major magic. Every character is so perfectly written. Surprises galore. Hang on for a long and joyful and tears to impress you.

I love this book! I got it from my library and it haunted me till I bought a hard copy for myself. It is in my collection of the few books I'm prepared to lug around from house to house to reside in my bookcase.

This one holds a special place on my shelf. It took me a couple tries as a teen to get through the 3rd book, but once I did it became a favourite. It has now been over 20 years since I first finished it and have since reread it many times when i need a refreshing escape into whimsy!

GREAT READ

Several years ago, I purchased a small book by Mary Brown, "Pigs Don't Fly". A few days ago, I discovered that book was the second of three and here is a bundle of all for my Kindle. Best purchase I've made in a while. This is also the first time in about 5 years I have stayed up most of the night to finish a book, or 3, if you want to be technical.

I thought this series of books was OK, right up to the epilogue. I'm not sure why the author ended it that way, or what point she was trying to make, but like another reader wrote, you'll like these books much better if you skip the epilogue to the third book.

transformations from ugly to pretty seem to be the running theme in these books. Perhaps Mary Brown has self-esteem issues? DON'T read the epilogue, it will just break your heart.

Interesting take on dragons. :)

I loved this book. Although the theme stays similar throughout the book I enjoyed each story on its own. what is there not to love about Dragons and Unicorns and Princesses in disguise.

It's difficult to find a good book. You read through to find out what happens and when you are finished to a satisfying conclusion I get disappointed because it's over. This is one of those books.
