Only in Xanth would parents see a dragon looming over their children and depart with confidence.

About This Quote

This quote is from the very first book of Xanth series. The author, Piers Anthony asks the question: “Only in Xanth would parents see a dragon looming over their children and depart with confidence.” The answer to this question is: of course, only in Xanth. Xanth is a fantasy world filled with magic and fantasy creatures. In Xanth, there are monsters that can walk on water and fly, monsters that can read minds and create illusions, and monsters that can cause things to disappear. If you saw a dragon over your child’s head, you would not be confused about what it was doing; instead, you would know exactly what it was doing and what it wanted.
