Quotes
The Ice Dragon
In 1980 George R. R. Martin wrote a children’s novel about an ice dragon called The Ice Dragon. It marks his children's book debut. It is illustrated with pencil drawings by artist Yvonne Gilbert. Though several differences exist with the world of the A Song of Ice and Fire saga, several publishers insist The Ice Dragon is set in the same world.
