Publisher's Summary:
Eight wonderful tales of exiting dragons! Including one dragon made of ice, another that settles in the General Post Office, and a fire-breather that flies out of a magical book and devours a whole soccer team... Charmingly eccentric stories for children and non-children (but with their inner child intact!) is what awaits the listeners here.

At last!
I read Edward Eager's fantasy books forty years ago. The characters in his books read books by E. Nesbit. So I'm enchanted to find that these are real books and I can read them on my Kindle.
However, my Kindle version has no illustrations. Ouch! The Project Gutenberg edition has beautiful line-drawings. It would be lovely to integrate these.
Aside from the missing illustrations, the book was wonderful. Literally, full of wonder: lots of twists that I've never encountered before or since. Dragons both good and evil; princes likewise; unexpected weaknesses and resolutions. Plus a few jokes slipped in for adults (at least, I think they would have gone over my head when I was eight.)
Good reading!
I rated this book in the middle of the scale because it was so slow in catching my interest. I believe it is a good read for middle grade children!

Great
Wonderful book to read with your kids!
I highly recommend this book. My wife checked it out from the library to read with our 7-year-old before bed. She would read one story to him each night while I put our younger child to bed. When I came down he would always excitedly tell me all about the story they had read, including tiny little details. Several times he told my wife "I wish we didn't have to take this back to the library" so she got it for him for his birthday. We couldn't believe how excited he was as he almost started to cry and yelled "My wish came true!" Very enjoyable book.
