E Nesbit
1) Man and Maid
Though primarily known as a children's author, E. (Edith) Nesbit had a remarkably broad range as a writer, penning many collections of short stories and poetry geared for children and adults over the course of her career. Man and Maid is a novel intended for a mainstream adult readership that delves into that most timeless of topics: love relationships between men and women.
From silly to scary, shocking to absurd, dragons abound in this collection of eight children's stories from beloved author E. Nesbit.
Originally published in the serial magazine The Strand, this anthology was reprinted as a single volume in 1901 and has served as a classic of both children's and dragon's literature ever since.
Within, you'll find stories of a silly king, a stalwart princess, a pair of mischievous children on the hunt

Edith Nesbit was one of the most prolific and beloved children's authors of her time, but she also had a more literary bent, as evinced in The Rainbow and the Rose, one of several of the collections of poetry she penned in her lifetime. This compendium of verse tackles topics ranging from the quotidian to the profound in a traditional rhyming style that will please poetry purists.
