Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Chris d’Lacey writes books for children of all ages, but is best known for his series The Last Dragon Chronicles which have sold nearly four million copies worldwide. He likes dragons. Check out his latest Erth Dragons series, beginning with book one, The Wearle. That is indeed VERY dragony. And fans of the supernatural might like his UNICORNE Files series - a kind of 'X-Files' for kids. Book one is called A Dark Inheritance.

Chris's early ambition was to be a songwriter, and he did not begin writing fiction until he was in his early thirties. He kicked off with a gentle ‘Christmassy’ story that grew, alarmingly, into a 250,000 word adult saga about polar bears. It is still to come out of his ‘bottom drawer’. He progressed to writing bizarre short stories and had a smattering of efforts placed in a variety of well-regarded small press magazines. He had no real plans to try children’s fiction until a friend suggested he enter a competition to write a story for nine-year-olds. He didn’t win the competition, but sent the story to a publisher who picked it off a slush pile. Not surprisingly, he has now switched completely to children’s fiction and has published some thirty-odd titles, many of which have been widely translated. ‘Fly, Cherokee, Fly’ (his first children’s novel) was highly commended for the Carnegie Medal.

In July 2002, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Leicester (where he worked for twenty-eight years as a scientist of sorts) for his services to children’s fiction. He now writes full time and is a regular visitor to schools, libraries and book festivals. He lives in Devon, England, where he likes to stare at the sea a lot and play the ukulele. A little known fact is that as well as his middle grade fiction, he has also ventured into the young adult arena under the pseudonym ‘Vincent Caldey’. His one book under that name 'A Good Clean Edge' is very different and very hard to find. Dragons are not mentioned within its pages.

    My son really enjoyed this series. He has also read the Eragon series, and although the Last Dragon Chronicles is a much easier read, he was still wild about it. If your child loves fantasy fiction, this series is a great choice!
  • Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2013
    Dragons, they have always pulled me into their mysterious world..... Their fiery world of wonder. Almost every dragon story is different, with villainous dragons to hero dragons, harsh or gentle, brave or shy.
    This book really pulls you into the dragon world in an odd way.... How they are so amazing and powerful, yet so vulnerable because of their fire.
    They also have amazing personalities..... Listening dragons, potion dragons, and so on.
    Bears hop into the mix, as well as mystery and wonder. And amazing explanations!
    The adventure is high paced, and fun. Each chapter leaves you hanging. I was shocked at the end of many chapters.
    The final ingredient to this wonderful book is the characters, so amazing and curious, each having a great, unique personality.
    I loved this book!

    I am a lover of accion, bloody, thrilling and scary novels and to my surprise I loved it. It has no accion what so ever but the way of writing is great. The first book wasn't very good but this one is way better. It has 400 pages and I finished it in less than a day and I'm not a great reader. The book can't be better and you won't want to stop reading even if it makes your eyes fall.

    I really enjoy this series and the characters are lovable. Sometimes it's confusing to understand, though. I may have to read it twice to actually get it straight in my head. Hooked on the adventures, I move on to complete the saga.

    Reviewed in Germany on December 30, 2013
    I gave this book a 5star rating because the book is, how should I say it, the right, consistency . I would recommend this book for teenagers. Even though I'm only 10 years old, I feel that this book is appropriate for teenagers more than young kids. I loved the fact that there was tons of suspense.

    3.0 out of 5 stars 龍は可愛いんだけど・・・
    Reviewed in Japan on October 20, 2004
    前作よりは龍が活躍してます。話もスケールアップ(って地理的に範囲が広がっただけと言えなくも無いが)し、龍の秘密にも迫ったりして、ちょっとハラハラドキドキの展開もあります。
     でも星3つなのは、イマイチ感情移入できない主人公のキャラクターがネックなのか、生意気な女の子の言動が鼻につくからなのか、話の展開が凡庸なせいなのか・・・。
     まあ、可愛い話と言えないことは無いですけどね。正直、カバーイラストの龍の涙にほだされて1、2巻セットで買ってしまいましたが、2度読みはしないと思います。
