Publisher Description

When young Lionel is whisked from his nursery one morning and crowned king, he becomes fascinated by the forbidden Book of Beasts in the palace library. But when a real red dragon escapes from the pages and wreaks havoc on the kingdom, Lionel has to act fast to make things right. But how? Edith Nesbit's entertaining stories found a fan in J.K. Rowling, and with good reason. Like Harry Potter, these selections from The Book of Dragons are full of just the right mix of magic, adventure, and everyday life.

"Oh, I've just started this book but I'm really enjoying her voice. And of course, what's not to like about dragons? (Aside from that eating people thing they do?) "

    " This little book has a series of eight short stories about dragons, great first book for young readers interested in dragons. Some of the dragons are blood thirsty, some eat anything, and one even becomes the pre-runner of the cat that lives in so many homes. "
