A
1965
Silk Screen Version
Original Edition
The Second Edition
2025
How is a dragon egg made? What about beach eggs? Why are there enough frogs
for the dragons to eat?
The 2025 Edition answers these questions
and more.
The Illustrations
Cyril Mae creates sophisticated illustrations
for the older youngster.
Mixing watercolor and acrylics,
her details make the Second Edition
an artistic experience.
The Background
Throckmorton, the dragon, and Melville, the frog, were originally
designed for a silk screening project at college in the 1960's.
Published as a children's book in 2014, the story took on a life of its own.
The Second Edition of the Adventures of Great Forest morphed into more advice
and more panic! With the addition of the Shell Wars at Ocean Wave City
it's asked,
"Will anyone ever get along?"
