Book Description
for Three Tales of My Father's Dragon by Ruth Stiles Gannett
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
A welcome compilation of three still-popular short children's novels are illustrated with the original black and white artwork and large typeface familiar to the adults who recall these fantasies. My Father's Dragon (1948), was named a Newbery Honor Book; it was followed by Elmer and the Dragon (1950) and The Dragons of Blueland (1951), all published by Random House and subsequently translated and published in eight languages. A one- page note from the author indicates that she has declined to write a fourth story, even though readers have suggested plots for her consideration. (Ages 4-8)
