Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) is a tabletop role-playing game (RPG) originally designed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. It was first published in 1974 by Tactical Studies Rules, Inc. (TSR) and has been published by Wizards of the Coast since 1997.

The Game: Players create imaginary characters and embark on adventures within a fantasy setting. A Dungeon Master (DM) serves as the game's referee and storyteller, while maintaining the setting in which the adventures occur.

Character Classes: This Little Golden Book introduces children to several iconic D&D character classes including wizards (magic users), rogues (stealthy characters), fighters (warriors), clerics (healers), and bards (charismatic performers).

Cultural Impact: D&D has been a major influence on the development of role-playing games and has had a significant impact on popular culture, inspiring countless books, movies, video games, and other media.

The Forgotten Realms: Referenced in this book, the Forgotten Realms is one of the most popular campaign settings for D&D, created by Ed Greenwood and featuring a rich fantasy world with detailed geography, history, and cultures.

Revolutionary Beginning: When Little Golden Books were first published in 1942, high-quality books for children hadn't been available at a price most people could afford. Little Golden Books changed that! Priced at just 25 cents and sold where people shopped every day, they caused an instant sensation and were soon purchased by the hundreds of thousands.

Influential Illustrators: Several of its illustrators later became influential within the children's book industry, including Corinne Malvern, Tibor Gergely, Gustaf Tenggren, Feodor Rojankovsky, Richard Scarry, Eloise Wilkin, and Garth Williams.

Diverse Content: Many books in the Little Golden Books series deal with nature, science, Bible stories, nursery rhymes, and fairy tales. Christmas titles are published every year.

Popular Characters: Some Little Golden Books and related products have featured popular characters from other media, such as Disney, Looney Tunes, The Muppets, Sesame Street, Sonic the Hedgehog, Barbie, Power Rangers, Thomas the Tank Engine, and others.

Modern Adaptations: The line has expanded to include contemporary franchises like Dungeons & Dragons, bringing classic storytelling formats to new generations and fandoms.

Original Partnership: The series started with publishing firm Simon & Schuster; Western Printing and Lithographing Company in Racine, Wisconsin was Simon & Schuster's partner in the Little Golden Books venture, with Western handling print operations. Ownership and control of the series have changed several times since; today, Penguin Random House is its current publisher.

Consistent Quality: Despite the changes of detail that occurred over the years, the Little Golden Books maintains a distinctive appearance. A copy of The Poky Little Puppy bought today is essentially the same as one printed in 1942. Both are readily recognizable as Little Golden Books. At the time of the series' golden anniversary in 1992, Golden Books claimed that a billion and a half Little Golden Books had been sold.
