(3) 4-6 'My Father's Dragon' (1948), 'Elmer and the Dragon' (1950), and 'The Dragons of Blueland' (1952) have been collected in one volume, fifty years after the publication of 'My Father's Dragon'. Though the compendium is an attractive package, the illustrations are not reproduced as crisply as they were in the original books (or even in the paperback editions). Still, it's a treasure for those who love these classic stories. Reviews 5/48, 11/50, 2/52.
