Editor reviews
An evil king imprisons his daughter on a distant island, and she needs a very clever man to free her. "The Island of the Nine Whirlpools" comprises part of Edith Nesbit's The Book of Dragons. Around the turn of the 20th century, Nesbit wrote dozens of fanciful children's books. Whimsical music sets the tone of the piece from the start. Emma Gregory's performance melds warmth, intelligence, and enthusiasm. She endows the characters with varied voices and accents while her gentle pacing makes the story very kid-friendly.
Summary
This is a story from the Dragon Tales collection.
Here is a collection of four delightful dragon stories by two master writers for children: "The Reluctant Dragon" by Kenneth Grahame and "The Island of the Nine Whirlpools", "The Fiery Dragon", and "The Last Dragon" by Edith Nesbit. Presented with lively music and even the occasional amusing sound effect.
