Fifteen-year-old Creel is not particularly enthusiastic when her unkindly aunt leaves her to a dragon in a faint hope that a eligible prince will rescue her and provide with a suitable marriage. Creel is distraught, but doesn't really believe in dragons. However, one does indeed appear: not particularly keen on eating Creel, he ends up not only letting her go but introducing her to his marvellous collection of shoes, and parting with a pair of marvellously comfortable, and rather attractive blue slippers.
Thanks to the publisher for providing the BookBag the opportunity to entertain itself with the shoe-collecting dragons.
Ursula LeGuin's classic ''Earthsea'' series develops the dragon motif inits later parts, though we encounter some inklings of what's to come in thefirst book [[The Wizard of Earthsea]].
