About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Book of Dragons, by Edith Nesbit. Read by Laurie Anne Walden. A dragon who flies out of a magical book; one whose purr quiets a fussy baby; another who eats an entire pack of tame hunting-hippopotomuses: These eight dragon tales are filled with the imaginative wit of children's author Edith Nesbit.
