Features: A treasure in the world's children's literature collection, a must-read children's literary work. A fantasy masterpiece by the outstanding British children's literature writer Edith Nesbit. Naive children love to imagine, and children who love to imagine are bold in creating. The story of "The Seven Dragons" guides children to enjoy life in imagination and to create a future in dreams. When the largest elephant in the zoo was swept away by a tornado, the newspaper stopped pretending to be foolish. Thus, a headline appeared on the front page: "Shocking Dragon Disaster." You won't understand how terrible the situation is, of course, nor will you understand how infuriating it is. A centipede-sized dragon might suddenly appear on your soap and butter, a puppy-sized dragon might appear in the bathroom, and if you turn on the cold water tap to pour water on them, they will hiss with white steam; a pigeon-sized dragon might sneak into the sewing kit and the drawer in the corner of the wall, and when you hurriedly reach for a needle, thread, or handkerchief, they will pounce and bite you fiercely; a sheep-sized dragon is relatively easy to avoid, but sometimes they fly in through the windows and burrow into your down comforter, burning everything from the bed sheets to the pillows. People's lives are thus plunged into sudden dragon disasters.
