Dragon: Hound of Honor

I just finished reading this book by Dame Julie Andrews Edwards and Emma Walton Hamilton and I highly recommend it. Not only is the book a fast read (well, it is a children's book), it doesn't talk down to children like some of them do. The book is recommended for children ages 9 and up. There is some violence, which might bother younger children.

The story is based on the true story, "The Legend of the Dog of Montargis", which should set any curious young reader off on a search for more information about this amazing dog. Dragon, a beautiful Wolf Hound, is present when his master is murdered. He, also, "names" his master's attacker is a most amazing manner. Further, Dragon must battle his master's murderer to the bitter end.

The book contains enough mystery to keep any young reader (and, perhaps their parents) interested to the end.
