Dance with the Dragon

Five related stories and a Meditation on the Dragon. This book is a fairy tale for adults. The usual characters appear but the princess approaches her challenges a bit differently. In a time when little girls are again being encouraged to be princesses it behooves women to beware when deciding who is friend and who is foe.

Dance with the Dragon took fifty years to write. I wrote a new story for each of the baby princesses who came into my life and my heart. No doubt the growth of the princess and her relationship with the dragon reflected my changing understanding of the ways in which women survive in the world.
