Charles Ashton Reihenfolge der Bücher

SPARROW IS JUST AN ORDINARY BOY LIVING IN A BACKWOODS VILLAGE, UNTIL THE DAY HE MEETS THE WIZARD PUCKEL ON THE MOUNTAINSIDE.Puckel grants Sparrow three wishes: the ability to fly, to understand the speech of birds and beasts, and to take the shape of any creature or thing. It is the start of an amazing series of adventures for Sparrow and his friends, as they seek to defeat the deadly dragon, to outwit the cunning Polymorphs, and to build a bridge to connect two parallel worlds.This book brings together for the first time all three volumes of the classic Dragon Fire Trilogy, Jet Smoke and Dragon Fire, Into the Spiral and The Shining Bridge.

On the face of it, the village in which Sparrow lives is as well-equipped, technologically, as any other in the modern world - there are telephones, televisions, calculators... The odd thing is, though, that no one knows what these machines are for. Even the old reilway line lies useless - and only Sparrow believes in the existence of aerplanes. Dragons, however, are another matter; Sparrow's friend Bull seems to know all about them, and other magic too, which gives him a sort of power over Sparrow and their red-headed companion Gogs. Then, one day on the mountain, Sparrow meets the strange, magical Puckel and his even stranger and more magical stick - and after that, for the three boys, nothing will ever be the same again.
