Introduction

When my daughter had just learned to read and was rapidly growing into a voracious bookworm, I began to compose stories about a book-hungry dragon. I later wrote them down for her in the form of a novel titled “The Book of Bookworm.” A few years later I translated this story into Russian for my friends in Russia.

I present the novel here in both languages (each chapter is presented in Russian and then in English).

The artist wrote on her page in deviantart.com: “My artworks here are free for non-commercial creative use (such as home-made tabletop games , RPG modules, illustrations for fan-fiction etc.) If you want to use or re-post my pictures somewhere, please, make a link to this gallery.”

I present here one of her wonderful dragon portraits. ]
