I’m very excited to announce that the original Jane and the Dragon book, first published in 1988, has been republished and is available again in print worldwide. I’ve modified the original version with two new spreads that were left out due to page count requirements and some extra history behind the story. I was determined to incorporate them into this new version.
It took me quite some time to put this together, and I’ve been working on it in the background for about six months. Some of the original art has been lost to time, so I’ve had to recreate it using digital technology, enhancing and reworking my original proof pages. I’m really proud of how it looks!
The paperback is available to order on Amazon, and I’ve left some links below where you can find it. I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on the republished version. If you decide to pick up a copy, it would be wonderful if you could leave a little review on the listing. I’m hoping to get the book back to its previous level of readership, as it’s obviously very precious to me. It led to the TV show and the Dragonblade novel I’m writing now.
I’m really pleased to have made it available again at conventional book prices because editions of the existing publications have been changing hands for rather crazy prices.
Jane longs to be a knight, but almost everyone in the castle expects her to be a lady-in-waiting. Then, when a dragon comes and steals the price, Jane races after them. This is her chance to prove herself and follow her dream to be a knight.
Jane and the Dragon has become a modern classic, loved and cherished by millions of young readers around the world since it was first published in 1988.
It was developed into an award-winning TV series in 2004 by Weta Workshop and Nelvana Productions.
