E. Nesbit 2 hr 40 min read

A book that eats the beasts pictured in it, an ice dragon at the North Pole, a fiery dragon with a heart of stone, eight sparkling tales of dragons, tamed and terrible, for children.

E. Nesbit's 1900 collection is a delightful, witty gathering of dragon fairy tales by a beloved master of children's fantasy. Charming, funny, endlessly inventive. Read it for classic Nesbit, clever child heroes, comically fearsome dragons, and the sly humor that made her one of the great writers for the young.
