Pie and Melanie Corbett have been working with dragons for over 40 years, after discovering that creating this mythical world was a winner with children. Using this captivating theme, they were able to develop children's imaginations and ability to write powerfully. This beautifully illustrated book charts their experiences using dragons as a teaching tool and the effect it has had. It is an essential companion for anyone teaching poetry, fiction and non-fiction writing to children aged 6-11.
