C.S. Forester came up with the premise for the book during one of his at home periods in the Berkeley hills during WW2. The younger of his two sons, 8 year old George, suffered from food allergies (unknown to the medical profession at the time ) and didn't want to eat. Forester made up the stories to tell during meal times (usually lunch), but would only tell them if George kept eating his meal. If George stopped eating, Forester stopped talking mid-sentence. By the time George began to show improvement, there were a number of Poo-Poo stories and three dragons. Forester collected the stories in manuscript form and Little Brown (and Michael Joseph) published it.
Poo-Poo and the Dragons was a favorite childhood book for countless readers after its publication in 1942, but has been out-of-print for years. For all those fans waiting to introduce this treasured classic to a new generation, Enetpress is proud to present Poo-Poo and the Dragons and the original illustrations in digital form and include short pieces by its primary audience: George and John Forester.
