Children's Literature
British author E. Nesbit (1858-1924) is probably best known in the United States for The Railway Children and Five Children and It, both seminal-and entrancing-works of children's literature. It's a pleasure, then, to have this long out of print book available again at last. The eight short stories enclosed are all about dragons and fairy tales. Nesbit takes both subjects and reinterprets them with charm and a sense of drollness nearly unknown to contemporary authors. Child kings and princesses without kingdoms-but with plenty of heart-people these stories, and the dragons only ever eat villains. Nesbit's tales are filled with a very old-fashioned sense of right and wrong, and a certain out-of-fashion sentimentality as well. They cry out to be read aloud, and what better reason is there for reading them aloud to one's children? 2001 (orig. 1900), SeaStar Books, $14.95. Ages 6 to 10. Reviewer: Kathleen Karr

    Good Read For Any Nesbit Fan

    I highly enjoyed all of the stories in The Book of Dragons. My favorite was Lionel and the Book of Beasts. These stories are a good way to end any frustrating and tiring day. If you like Nesbit's other stories,you will definitely enjoy The Book of Dragons.

    Really well writen, it will have you wishing for more...

    Hiya there, just your little old pal Dragon Master here to tell ya all about this book! It is a really well writen book, you will want to read it OVER, and OVER, and OVER again... I don't own it, but I have read it sevral times. My two top favorites are 'The Island of Nine Whirlpools' and 'The Ice Dragon'. Once you read this, you'll know its a classic, and a good addition to any respectable Draconologist's personal library.
