for the back of a paper book
Dragons and Dreams, still. I wanted to have more than just the standard blurb on the back of the paper book. What do you think of this?
(and should it be by Becca Price, or Rebecca Price?

Dragons and Dreams
by
Becca Price
“I am three thousand, four hundred and ten years old.” The Dragon told the man. “And for every single night of every single year of those three thousand four hundred and ten years, I've slept on my treasure. It’s how dragons sleep. It’s how dragons have always slept.” And he closed his eyes with a snap.
Then he opened one eye cautiously.
“What’s a bed?”
Brave princesses, grumpy dragons, princes wanting to be kings, and children seeking answers to age old questions. These five modern fairly tales include stories for pleasant dreams, and stories for stirring thought. They are just the right length for bedtime reading. Each is a gem that will delight the entire family."
Children have always delighted in fairy tales, tales of adventure and challenge in magical lands where dragons live and The Dark is a thing to be feared and explored. From the original Grimm's fairy tales through Andrew Lang's colorful fairy books to modern classics like Robert Munsch's The Paperbag Princess, there will always be a need for, and a place for, fairy tales. Dragons and Dreams continues on in this tradition, with silly, serious, and poetic stories.
