Publisher 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.

About E. Nesbit

E. Nesbit (1858–1924) began writing for young adults after a successful career in magazines. Using her own unconventional childhood as a jumping-off point, she published novels that combined reality, fantasy, and humor. Expanded from a series of articles in the Strand Magazine, Five Children and It was published as a novel in 1902 and is the first in a trilogy that includes The Phoenix and the Carpet and The Story of the Amulet. Together with her husband, Nesbit was a founding member of the socialist Fabian Society, and her home became a hub for some of the greatest authors and thinkers of the time, including George Bernard Shaw and H. G. Wells.
