Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Here there be dragons
It's a fact: every fantasy geek loves dragons, and even though E. Nesbit's time was prior to the modern fantasy lore era, these stories still pack an awesome punch of good dragon stories.
Through her nostalgic style of writing, she gives us a variety of dragons, good 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.
Rating:  - E Nesbit and her Dragons
I have long enjoyed 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.

Rating: - My review
I think this book is cool. it was about adventure, magic, action and even humor!!!
I did a book report on this book to!!
Rating: - A classic, like all of Nesbit's children's books.
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 discovered her books through those of Edward Eager; if you have read and enjoyed any of E. Nesbit's books before, I recommend you take the opposite journey and check out Eager's books now (start with Half Magic.) A real treat.
