I hated that I had to leave it behind when I fled my marriage. So many of the characters have these quirky soft spots. But before that he sets up camp and brushes his teeth and puts on his pajamas and displays his photograph of his beloved (pony? It’s been 17 years since I read it – but I think it’s his pony.) How amazing! The “bad guy” has a soft spot. The Muffin Muncher really gets at the heart of a dragon who terrorizes villages for their food. Maybe that’s why I see them as powerful but reasonably decent creatures. It is possible I was a fan of dragons, but I really think it was this book that did it for me. I know I was already into Vampires and Werewolves at that age. The story itself may or may not be where I got my love of dragons.
I didn’t understand first editions at that age, but I had the signature and that was still the most amazing thing ever.
Books were the coolest thing ever, other than blowing up Cylons which I planned to do when I grew up (after marrying Buck Rogers or Han Solo or Bo Duke). I was thrilled, even as a child, that I had an author signing inside the front cover. Queen_mamidala First edition, signed by the author.
