The Book of Dragons by Edith Nesbit ~ Full Audiobook [fantasy]

The Book of Dragons by Edith Nesbit audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

In The Book of Dragons, Edith Nesbit gathers a sparkling set of fantasy tales in which dragons are not distant legends but troublesome, tempting, and often very funny neighbors to the human world. Across these stories, curious children, stubborn adults, would-be heroes, and unlucky families stumble into encounters with beasts that breathe fire, freeze rivers, hoard treasure, or slip into everyday life in startling disguises. Each adventure begins with a small decision - a broken rule, a careless wish, a plan to be brave, or the belief that magic can be managed - and then follows the consequences as dragons upset households, kingdoms, and expectations. With her trademark blend of wit and warmth, Nesbit turns classic fairy-tale ingredients into something sharper and more surprising: courage is tested, cleverness matters as much as strength, and kindness can be as powerful as any sword. By turns mischievous and suspenseful, these stories invite listeners to delight in wonder while recognizing the hard truths beneath the enchantment: magic always has a price, and growing up often means learning which bargains to refuse.
