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

ALL the Dragons
by Edith Nesbit (1858–1924)
With ALL the original illustrations by Harold R. Millar (1869–1940)
AND with 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:
(The first eight stories comprise The Book of Dragons, 1900)
1- The Book of Beasts
2- Uncle James
3- The Deliverers of Their Country
4- The Ice Dragon
5- The Isle of the Nine Whirlpools
6- The Dragon Tamers
7- The Fiery Dragon
8- Kind Little Edmund
9- Billy the King -- (from Oswald Bastable and Others, 1905)
10- Justnowland -- (from The Magic World, 1912)
11- The Last of the Dragons -- (from Wikisource, no original source given, initial publication date given as 1925.)

----------
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). Images are mid-resolution. 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: 40.

I just uploaded version 2. It has a new set of illustrations, with 25 additional illustrations from the original magazine publications in 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?
