Book Description
Everyone laughs at Jane for wanting to be a knight, except the court jester, who loans her his small suit of armor, and she spends her days practicing knightly duties. When a dragon steals the prince, Jane sets out to rescue him. After a long, wearisome battle, they sit down and talk about what's expected of dragons (stealing the prince) and knights (being men). In the end, she turns an enemy into a friend, returns the prince to his parents, becomes a proper knight with Saturdays off to visit a friend, and dances with the jester at the royal ball.

Book Description
Girls can do anything they set their minds to--even if they happen to live in 9th Century England. Based on characters from Martin Baynton's "Jane and the Dragon" books, Jane and the Dragon: A Dragon's Tale is the story of an unconventional, adolescent girl whose best friend is a talking, fire-breathing dragon. More suited to knighthood than the traditional role of lady in waiting, the headstrong Jane receives King Caradoc's permission to become the first female knight's apprentice after rescuing the young Prince. Jane is determined to succeed in becoming a knight in spite of a significant lack of support from her fellow knight-in-training Gunther. Her mental and physical strength shine as she trains with Sir Theodore, but equally important to her ultimate success is her mastery of lessons in teamwork, honesty, self-confidence, and taking responsibility for the consequences of her actions. Add in Jane's inherent sense of compassion, her dedication to helping others, and her strong friendships with Dragon, and castle servants Pepper, Rake, and Jester, and Jane is definitely one very special girl. The striking, pencil-drawn look of this animated series, combined with the animators' careful attention to details like how hair and fabrics look and move, give this production a powerful sense of uniqueness and authenticity. The bonus "The Art of Jane and the Dragon" featurette explores some of the goals and techniques used in the animation process while "Character Profiles" provides additional background information for each of the five main characters. Also included is the program's original concept art. An entertaining and inspiring tale of a strong young girl determined to live up to her full potential, Jane and the Dragon: A Dragon's Tale is a winner for kids ages 5 and older.

Book Description
“It was not always easy to be the guru’s wife,” writes Diana Mukpo. “But I must say, it was rarely boring.” At the age of sixteen, Diana Mukpo left school and broke with her upper-class English family to marry Chögyam Trungpa, a young Tibetan lama who would go on to become a major figure in the transmission of Buddhism to the West. In a memoir that is at turns magical, troubling, humorous, and totally out of the ordinary, Diana takes us into her intimate life with one of the most influential and dynamic Buddhist teachers of our time. Diana led an extraordinary and unusual life as the "first lady" of a burgeoning Buddhist community in the American 1970s and '80s. She gave birth to four sons, three of whom were recognized as reincarnations of high Tibetan lamas. It is not a simple matter to be a modern Western woman married to a Tibetan Buddhist master, let alone to a public figure who is sought out and adored by thousands of eager students. Surprising events and colorful people fill the narrative as Diana seeks to understand the dynamic, puzzling, and larger-than-life man she married—and to find a place for herself in his unusual world. Rich in ambiguity, Dragon Thunder is the story of an uncommon marriage and also a stirring evocation of the poignancy of life and of relationships—from a woman who has lived boldly and with originality.

Book Description
You could hardly blame Dexter, ordinarily a well-behaved young dragon, for showing off when he suddenly found that he could make clouds of smoke. The temptation is irresistible, but Dexter quickly becomes insufferable. First he watches his own reflection in the river in order to admire the smoke. Then he puffs it in the faces of his friends: the zebra, the giraffe, and the elephant. He even blows smoke rings around his own tail to prove how clever he is. Soon Dexter has no friends left. He is a very lonely dragon indeed, until quite by accident he discovers a way his talent can be used to win back his playmates. This wonderful story -- first published in 1953 -- will delight both young readers and their parents, and so will Lisa McCue's appealing new pictures of this lovable show-off.
