The Book of Dragons Annotated Edith Nesbit

Dragons - of all sorts - make for amazing fun, and this collection of madcap tales is filled with them. Some of the legendary giants are funny and mischievous, others are absolute scary, and a number of them are wild and unpredictable. There's a dragon made of ice, another that takes shelter in the General Post Office, a scaly creature that carries off the largest elephant in a zoo, and even a dragon whose gentle drone comforts a tiny tot. And who challenges these amazing creatures? Why, brave heroes, of course, as well as a terrific 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.
