The Caves and the Cockatrice: Stories of Heroic Geeks

0/5 ( ratings)

"Edmund loved to find out about things. Perhaps you will think that in that case he was constant in his attendance at school, since there, if anywhere, we may learn whatever there is to be learned. But Edmund did not want to learn things: he wanted to find things out, which is quite different. His inquiring mind led him to take clocks to pieces to see what made them go, to take locks off doors to see what made them stick."

There have always been children who wanted to teach themselves, children who loved to read about Atlantis, children who knew more than everyone around them. They have always had adventures.

Kristen Bancroft has selected three stories and a novella about heroic geeks battling dragons, rescuing people, and travelling to Stonehenge.

Illustrated by H. R. Millar and Gordon Browne, cover art by H. Granville Fell.

Language: English

Pages: 153

Format: Kindle Edition
