The Book of Dragons
ByPublisher Description
From silly to scary, shocking to absurd, dragons abound in this collection of eight children's stories from beloved author E. Nesbit. Originally published in the serial magazine The Strand, this anthology was reprinted as a single volume in 1901 and has served as a classic of both children's and dragon's literature ever since. Within, you'll find stories of a silly king, a stalwart princess, a pair of mischievous children on the hunt for adventure, and many more tales of children besting the terrible beasts of their worlds. This fine new edition of The Book of Dragons comes complete with a foreword from Eleanor Fitzsimmons, author of The Life and Loves of E. Nesbit.
