David Roe's illustrations were only ever used on paperback editions of
Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, The White Dragon, and Get Off the Unicorn.
The recent reissues of these paperbacks replaced his cover art by new
illustrations by Les Edwards (who did "The Skies of Pern").
To me, the "definitive" UK dragons are the ones drawn by Steve Weston,
who provided the illustrations from "Dragondrums" onwards...
