«Merlin and the Dragons» is the children's fantasy picture book by Jane Yolen, published by Dutton in 1995 in hardback (40 pages, in English).
Arthur, still a boy, doesn't understand why pulling a sword from a stone makes him king. To calm him, old Merlin tells him a story from his youth: a boy without parents who dreamed of dragons and of the defeat of the wicked King Vortigern. That tale gives him the confidence to accept his destiny.
Illustrations by Li Ming; first edition of 1995 published by Cobblehill Books (Dutton). The story belongs to the Arthurian cycle and to children's fantasy.
Recommended for child and young readers who enjoy fantasy, dragons, and Arthurian legends.
