35+ The Dragonslayers Bruce Coville Background. To get revenge on king mildred, grizelda creates the fiercest dragon. The dragonslayers started very differently from any of my other books.
Most of these ideas recall such longer fantasies as patricia wrede's dealing with dragons (1990) and its sequels, but coville's sly sense of humor gives it all a tasty glaze.
Bruce coville's book of monsters is the first in a series of book of anthologies edited by bruce coville. Jeremy thatcher, dragon hatcher (1990). It's the typical tale of a king mildred raised his hand and said, i pronounce you the dragonslayers! You see, back when i was a teacher i somehow got pulled into directing a big production of alice in wonderland, which was being put on by the entire fourth grade at my school.
