hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Edith Nesbit's The Book of Dragons gathers eight ingenious tales in which dragons erupt into everyday life, royal courts, schoolrooms, and enchanted landscapes with comic and unsettling force. Written in Nesbit's brisk, conversational prose, the collection combines nursery-tale motifs with modern irony, practical children, and satirical reversals. Published at the turn of the twentieth century, it belongs to the transition from Victorian moral fairy tale to the more psychologically lively, playful children's fantasy Nesbit helped define. Nesbit was a central figure in English children's literature, a poet, novelist, and Fabian socialist whose unconventional domestic life and progressive ideals shaped her art. Her sympathy for intelligent, independent children, her suspicion of empty authority, and her talent for making magic coexist with recognizable social realities all inform these stories. Dragons become not merely monsters, but instruments for exposing vanity, greed, courage, and imagination. This collection is warmly recommended to readers interested in classic fantasy, children's literature, and the genealogy of modern magical storytelling. Witty, economical, and surprisingly sharp, it rewards both young readers and adults seeking the origins of a tradition later developed by writers from C. S. Lewis to Diana Wynne Jones.…
