The text: These 8 short stories about a variety of dragons were very entertaining. I enjoyed the wit and whimsy of E. Nesbit and was reminded why she is one of my favorite children's authors. I particularly liked #6, The Dragon Tamers. The narration: Ms. Walden does a fantastic job in reading this book. I've listened to several books read by her, and she's a marvelous narrator.
Loved It
