Note:

Posthumous publication, perhaps completed by Nesbit
Published 1925 in the posthumous collection Five of Us—and Madeline assembled and edited by Nesbit's daughter Rosamund Sharp (Rosamund Edith Nesbit Bland): • as the 1st of two short stories (fantasy) appended to the long title story (unknown genre) • probably as pp 285-98 in 310-page eds., facing/following one b/w plate by Nora S. Unwin (from multiple library records, mainly OCLC 317762995 and OCLC 811008664) Rosamund may have edited the long title story alone.
Dated 1899 or September 1899 sometimes, by mistake concerning "The Fiery Dragon" and/or "The Heart of Stone and the Heart of Gold"

Synopsis: Relates what happens to the very last dragon in Cornwall when the local princess and her prince decide, in a departure from tradition, to tame the dragon rather than fight him. --Publisher's description
