Published fall 1997. 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.
Ruth Stiles Gannett
RUTH STILES GANNETT wrote My Father's Dragon just a few years after her graduation from Vassar College in 1944. It was an immediate success, becoming a Newbery Honor Book, and was soon followed by two sequels, Elmer and the Dragon and The Dragons of Blueland. All three dragon stories have been continuously in print in the more than 40 years since their publication. The author's other books include Katie and the Sad Noise and The Wonderful House-Boat- Train. She is married to the artist and calligrapher Peter Kahn. They have seven daughters and seven grandchildren. Visit her online at www.myfathersdragon.org.
