It’s a fact: every fantasy geek likes dragons, and even though E. Nesbit’s time was prior to the modern fantasy lore era, these tales still pack an awesome punch of excellent dragon tales.
Through her evocative style of writing, she gives us a variety of dragons, excellent and evil, a variety of wondrous settings, and all types of personalities of the fabled beasts.
This is a fairy-tale necessity for all dragon lovers.

I have long loved the works for children by E. Nesbit. this “Book of Dragons” is no exception. The deft combining of fantasy and realism is sure to appeal to young minds. I have been collecting her work for my grandchildren for some time and am delighted to add this gem to the pile. The children will simply have to wait until I have finished reading them again.

E. Nesbit’s books have a well-deserved place on my shelf next to C. S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia and Lloyd Alexander’s Prydain Chronicles, and more recently, Harry Potter. I learned her books through persons of Edward Keen; if you have read and loved any of E. Nesbit’s books before, I recommend you take the opposite journey and check out Keen’s books now (start with Half Magic.) A real treat.

This review refers to the 1987 Watermill Classic edition of “The Book Of Dragons” by E. Nesbit…
A young King, lets loose a Dragon from a storybook, and he must figure a way to get it back, before the dragon eats the entire town!A kind young man explores a cave and comes across a Cockatrice, a huge yellow dragon and it’s baby, a Drakling. A princess waits years in a tower to be rescued by her right like. Edith Nesbit has written a collection of fabulous and adventurous tales of courageous and daring young heroes facing up to the huge terrible dragon and saving the day.She gives fun names, teriffic descriptions and adventures kids will like.They are fleeting tales that have stood the test of time over 100 years later.
There are tales of upside lands where elephants are the size of guinea pigs, and rabbits are as huge as dinosaurs,where fantastic animals come alive right from the pages of books, of magical lands, young Kings and princesses, and of inquisitive, and sometimes harmful children who travel far and wide to face their fears.
There are 8 fleeting tales in all, and they include, “The Book of Beasts”,”Uncle James, or the Purple Weirder”, “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”, “Kind Small Edmund, or the Caves and the Cockatrice”.
I feel these tales and the reading level, are geared towards a small bit older child, maybe 8-12, as some of the tales are reasonably fantastic and may be even be a small scary for the young child. I reflect these tales would be fantastic to read aloud together, and passed down from generation to generation. My only reason for going 4 stars for this 1987 Watermill Classic edition, is that although it is Perfect and Unabridged, it does not include the illustrations that the editor’s review talks about. They are probably referring the the re-issues of 1992 and 1997 by Troll Communications, which are both sold here.. So you may want to check with the outside sellers to see if the illustrations are included in the edition they are selling.
These are magical tales that would be loved by a boy or girl, and with 8 separate tales, may be more motivational and enjoyable for persons that aren’t too keen on reading.
Enter the fantastic world of Edith Nesbit with your kids and delight in…..Laurie
