Dragons in New York
News | Posted by Carole on Thursday 13 December 2007
There are a surprising number of dragons in New York. While I was there, I was always coming across them. On buildings…..
In museums…..
And in toy shops. This is the toyshop FAO Schwartz that was in the film Big. And these Harry Potter dragons were BIG, about 3 metres high.
And…..I had a personal encounter with a dragon

Danny,
It was a big dragon.
I don’t know exactly when it will be out in the UK. You could try emailing the UK publisher at
children@macmillan.co.uk

Danny! DRAGON MOON is released on 1st Feb! I cannot wait! I love the cover too. My fav of the series. It kind of reflects the UK Cover for DRAGONKEEPER.
Carole, have you recieved your copies yet? When I got the hardback of GOTPD, I thought! WOW! This is beautiful. I like the gold casing. lol. I bet DRAGON MOON will be beautiful. The cover is amazing!
I cant wait to read it!

Wow, I would have loved to have been there to see the dragon in the last photo! It’s body looks so real. When I first looked at it it sort of made me think of Danzi, but hmm.. now that I look at it a bit more I’m thinking maybe not. The face is a bit long to how I’ve imagined Danzi and the mouth is a bit different.

No that last dragon was a western dragon, one of the fire-breathing, nasty sort.

carole,

maddison
P.S I imagined a lighter green.

I liked the dragons

Maddison,
No not really. The dragon in the picture isn’t a Chinese dragon. I also imagined him as a lighter green but with a more slender boy and one set of horns and the side whiskers that Chinese dragons always have.

you never really described ping’s facial features, does she look like tiffany?
Posted by Carole on Sunday 20 January 2008
Sarah,
I guess I left it up to my readers to imagine what Ping looks like. In Dragonkeeper, I didn’t think that Ping would have had cubby cheeks like Tiffany did when she was younger. Ping didn’t get too much to eat.

that’s true.hehe, tiffany also used a hairband in dragonkeeper, i don’t think they had ponytails back then…

my bad, i think it was gotpd

Sarah,
Actually I think it was Dragon Moon! They might have had ponytails, but definitely not elastic!
Posted by sarah on Wednesday 30 January 2008
hmm, not sure about slaves girls, but none of the the people on the chinese series and films i’ve watch had ponytails,they all had some jewelry.oh well, they were servants.
