Customer Reviews

Jane Langton created a family with great heart.

The Series the Dragon Tree belongs in is homespun Harry Potter without witches and yet full of fantasy and warmth.

Wonderful!

Jane Langton is one of my favorite authors. I enjoy both the adult Homer Kelly novels, and the Hall Family chronicles, which are geared towards younger readers. They are all charming and thoughtful reading experiences, and this latest is no exception. I am hoping for a new Homer Kelly soon!
