More About This Book

Overview

THE DRAGON JUMPED OUT OF THE STORYBOOK!

The storybook's called "The Book of Beasts" and there's that darned dragon, all fangs and claws and fire and hunger.

Can Lionel cram it back in somehow, before the whole town gets eaten?

That's just one of the eight tales of magic and delight here, folks!

The other sparkling stories from the author of Five Children and It and many other classics? "Uncle James, or the Purple Stranger," "The Deliverers of Their Country," "The Ice Dragon, or Do as You are Told," "The Island Of the Nine Whirlpools," "The Dragon Tamers," "The Fiery Dragon, or the Heart of Stone and the Heart of Gold," and "Kind Little Edmund, or the Caves and the Cockatrice." These stories -- written in 1900 for The Strand magazine -- still charm and sparkle like pixie dust and dragon's gems for young and old alike more than a century later.

    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.
