## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    excellent book but arrived damaged
  

*by R***T on Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2022*

Nesbit's wonderful prose appears here in a series of short stories involving dragons. Delightful and imaginative, they can be enjoyed by young and old alike. This is an inexpensive edition that does include small black and white illustrations. The book arrived with a damaged cover and warped pages. I intended it as a gift for a niece so I am quite disappointed. At least it cost very little. If you are considering this book you should probably get one of the other available editions.

    A delightful series of short stories
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2019*

If you already enjoy Nesbit's writing, you'll enjoy this wonderful collection of short stories. Each one has it's own dragon, playing both large and small roles in the stories, along with princesses and heroes and strange creatures and unbelieveable delightful things. I loved the boy who saved the town eaten whole by a dragon, and yet never believed by anyone despite his efforts, and the dragon cured by bread and milk, and the boy who saved the princess with love and arithmetic on their side. I'll enjoy re-reading with my children!

    Fabulous! Enchanting! BUT.... No illustrations in this Kindle edition
  

*by R***Z on Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2014*

Our 10, 7 & 4 year old LOVED this book but do be aware that even though the illustrations are listed at the front of this Kindle edition there are actually none to be found! Or at least not in my copy! 8 different tales of dragons with princesses, boys and girls etc.The stories included are as follows:The Book of Beasts - Lionel becomes king at a young age and opens up a book belonging to his grandfather out of which flies a butterfly, a blue bird of Paradise and a red dragon.Uncle James, or the Purple Stranger - Princess Mary Ann and Tom live on Rotundia where the animals are all the wrong sizes. Animals, like elephants, that we think should be large are small and animals that are normally small, like mice, are large on Rotundia.The Deliverers of their Country - Effie gets something in her eye, only to discover it is a tiny dragon! More dragons start appearing everywhere. How to get rid of them?The Ice Dragon, or do as you are Told - George and Jane disobey their parents by going out of their garden one evening and taking the "road" from London to the North Pole where they encounter the Ice Dragon and the Sealskin Dwarfs.The Island of the Nine Whirlpools - story of a princess stranded on an island with a dragon and a griffin because the king was very cross with his wife for not specifying that she wanted a son! Nigel, a sailor boy watches the whirlpools and notices that for 5 minutes every day they are still. Once on the island he then has to do his sums to figure out exactly when that time will coincide with the dragon being asleep for 3 minutes.The Dragon Tamers - John (a blacksmith), his wife and baby are humble people. How can they tame the dragon that appears?The Fiery Dragon or the Heart of Stone and the Heart of Gold - Story of Sabrinetta, a princess and Elfin, the owner of 75 pigs.Kind Little Edmund, or the Caves and the Cockatrice - Edmund is a very curious little boy & so wants to discover the source of the rumblings he hears. No one believes his "stories" ever so he is often caned by the headmaster. (Please remember this book was written back when discipline in schools by caning was the norm.)This is a keeper for our library. A wonderful classic, well written, imaginative book! I would have given this book 5 stars if the illustrations were included as they are really good.
