Nesbit, Edith: ALL the Dragons (Collection, Illus). v2. 12 Sep 2016

ALL the Dragons
by Edith Nesbit (1858–1924)
With the original illustrations by Harold R. Millar (1869–1940)
AND a glossary for young readers.

First published in 1899, 1905, 1912, 1925.
The text and illustrations of this book are in the public domain in countries where copyright is “Life+70” or less. Additional material and cover design are released under the Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial ShareAlike 4.0 License.

---------
Edith Nesbit Bland, English author and poet, published approximately 40 books for children under the name of E. Nesbit. Her innovative body of work combined realistic, contemporary children in real-world settings with magical objects and adventures; and influenced many subsequent fantasy writers.

Here is an entertaining collection of Nesbit stories about dragons — those fascinating creatures of myth and legend. The people of these stories – whether they are timid or adventurous, clever or inept, well-meaning or evil, or simply curious – all find themselves caught up in unexpected adventures when they actually meet Real Live Dragons!

Contents:

Spoiler:

----------
Text and images obtained from several sources (see editing notes in the book). Punctuation has been formatted; missing italics and some text fragments recovered. A glossary has been added, annotating some terms no longer in general use, or in use primarily in the UK. Chapter heads are cross-linked to dynamic Table of Contents; image captions cross-linked to List of Illustrations. Embedded fonts for titling, etc. (hope you like my custom font for dragon decorations).

Offered in a Drop-caps version, and an Up-caps version if your reader is shy about wrapping text. Images are mid-resolution based on 900x1200px. And the cover is very... green.

Have fun chasing dragons!

--------
EDIT: Uploaded version 2, with 25 additional illustrations from the magazine publications, and expanded glossary. Previous downloads: 231.

The dropcaps look beautiful on both my kobos (H2O and glo HD).

Thank you again.

What a beautiful cover! Thank you!

Thanks to you both for your feedback. So happy these elements please you.

The graphics work on this project was a *lot* of fun! Accidental effects turned into final images.

I just uploaded version 2. It has a new set of illustrations, with 25 additional illustrations from the original magazine publications from The Strand Magazine in 1899. I have also expanded the glossary, corrected some typo's, and tweaked formatting a bit.

Wouldn't you like to tickle a dragon under his chin?
