The last book from "The Adventures of the Elves" offers a satisfying and hair-raising experience for the young readers. There is a party going in the elven king's palace. Everyone is invited and having the fun of their lives, when a giant destroys the gates and attempts to take the castle for himself. You can easily say that everyone is more than scared, but not Acorn and his beloved Rosehip, who are always ready for another adventure. The sword that can defeat the giant is hidden in a cave, guarded by a terrible dragon. A fast-paced and extremely riveting tale, "The Sword in the Dragon's Cave" is definitely recommendable to adventure-seekers and fantasy-lovers.
