Resumen del Editor

The Imaginarium Geographica.
"What is it?" John asked. The little man blinked and arched an eyebrow.
"It is the world, my boy," he said. "All the World, in ink and blood, vellum and parchment, leather and hide. It is the World, and it is yours to save or lose."

An unusual murder brings together three strangers, John, Jack, and Charles, on a rainy night in London during the first World War. An eccentric little man called Bert tells them that they are now the caretakers of the Imaginarium Geographica: an atlas of all the lands that have ever existed in myth and legend, fable and fairy tale. These lands, Bert claims, can be traveled to in his ship the Indigo Dragon, one of only seven vessels that is able to cross the Frontier between worlds into the Archipelago of Dreams.

Pursued by strange and terrifying creatures, the companions flee London aboard the Dragonship. Traveling to the very realm of the imagination itself, they must learn to overcome their fears and trust in one another if they are to defeat the dark forces that threaten the destiny of two worlds. And in the process, they will share a great adventure filled with clues that lead listeners to the surprise revelation of the legendary storytellers these men will one day become.

An extraordinary journey of myth, magic, and mystery, Here, There Be Dragons introduces James A. Owen as a formidable new talent.

score this is a winner !!

a great book for the car this summer on vacation for the whole family.. very adventurous.. and well read, rivals the h. potter listen series.. only now i have to wait for the next one

Sweet!!

This book is very good, as is the second book "The Search for the Red Dragon".

Cute

Just a nice fun listen. Nothing too deep. Nice little twist with John at the end.

Something missing

I'm not sure if it is the authors style, the fact its the first in a series, or the narration, but something felt missing. About half way through i realized it was "Tension." The story does a good job of moving along, but I didn't find myself particularly invested in what was happening, or going to happen next. It was interesting to pick out nods to other literary works, but again there was that crucial aspect of keeping me hooked. I might circle back to this series at some point, but I may not.

a fun read

I don't know why some people didn't like this book. I thought it was enjoyable and not boring at all.

Magnificent

Returned to this after not having read this story in many years, but it captivated my imagination just as much as it did all those years ago.

one of my favorites

seriously good book and series. unique and worth a listen. preformed very well. the last part will get ya.

Amazing Story!!!!

A good tale about adventure and magic. I would reccomend to anyone who likes mythology as well as a little mixture of fairytales.

Great book overall

It makes me want to get the rest of the series because it was just a really good read.

Great story!

Listened to this book to see if it was age appropriate for a young teen, and it was! Very unique story and plot line.
