How do we face the prospect of losing the one thing of value to us that defines us? The Soprano, the Monster, and the Dragonslayer, by Vashti Stopher Klein, is a magical allegory of healing. The Soprano tells the tale of being faced with the decision to save her life, and voice, from the threat of an evil Monster with fiery eyes and snake-like tendrils. A compassionate and fearless Dragonslayer is the only one who can save her. The Soprano's voice is then heard in the poetry and music in the book, with exquisite artistic elements created by Carol Collett Desert Studio.
