Ruth Stiles Gannett – författare

Ruth Stiles Gannett''s beloved tale of adventure and exploration, "My Father''s Dragon" takes the reader on a trip to Wild Island, where the narrator''s intrepid young father must navigate a maze of exotic animals - including a rhino, a lion and some hungry alligators - to rescue an imprisoned baby dragon. 

At once hilarious and exciting, "My Father''s Dragon" is one of the most honored and cherished children''s books of the 20th century and illustrator Ruth Crisman Gannett (the author''s stepmother) populates the book with a series of inventive and beautiful drawings of the young explorer''s adventures. 

This volume is presented in its original and unabridged format.

Presented here are three of the most popular children''s books of all time: A.A. Milne''s "Winnie-the-Pooh," Ruth Stiles Gannett''s "My Father''s Dragon" and Hugh Lofting''s "The Story of Doctor Dolittle."  

"Winnie-the-Pooh" tells the story of Christopher Robin and his friends, which includes Winnie-the-Pooh (a Bear of Very Little Brain), sweet-natured Piglet, cantankerous Rabbit and the gloomy Eeyore. An instant hit when it was originally published, Pooh has become a beloved favorite for children all over the world and this volume includes the original illustrations by Ernest Shepard.

Then, Ruth Stiles Gannett''s classic "My Father''s Dragon," which relates the story of a young boy trying to free a dragon who is being held captive on Wild Island and the dangerous creatures he encounters on his journey.  It also contains the original illustrations by Ruth Crisman Gannett.

And finally, rounding off this animal-filled trio, we have the story of the Man Who Talks to the Animals, Doctor Dolittle himself. This is the first volume of the cherished "Doctor Dolittle" series - which sees the Doctor and his friends travel to Africa and back - and it has been revised for content in this new version.  

Enjoy ALL THREE of these classic children''s novels in ONE VOLUME! This is the first of a limited series.
