YOUNGER FICTION
Grahame, Kenneth

The Reluctant Dragon

(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard. Grahame's classic story of a sociable, genteel, poetry-spouting dragon and the Boy who befriends him has been reissued in a seventy-fifth anniversary edition, admirable in its modest presentation: sixty-four generously typeset pages adorned with Shepard's iconic illustrations. A cogent and fascinating introduction by children's literature scholar Leonard S. Marcus outlines the book's publishing history.
