The Book of Dragons
by Edith Nesbit
In The Book of Dragons, E. Nesbitt tells eight humorous and inventive stories about dragons set in modern England or in fairy kingdoms; all from a modern perspective that both undermines and enjoys the genre. In addition to the various dragons, Nesbitt writes in a fascinating way about other creatures, from magical to unmagical. Sorcerers and witches, princes and princesses, like modern children, usually appear in pairs of brothers and sisters.
