Publisher's Synopsis
Dragons - of all sorts - make for marvelous fun, and this collection of madcap tales is filled with them.
Some of the legendary monsters are funny and mischievous, others are downright frightening, and a number of them are wild and unpredictable.
There's a dragon made of ice, another that takes refuge in the General Post Office, a scaly creature that carries off the largest elephant in a zoo, and even a dragon whose gentle purring comforts a tiny tot. And who challenges these amazing creatures?
Why, daring heroes, of course, as well as a wicked prince, and even an entire soccer team - which, unfortunately, meets its fate with a fire-breathing brute that flies out of the pages of an enchanted book.
Edith Nesbit was one of the pioneers of fantasy fiction for children!
