Out of print, this is a wonderful story about overcoming one's own dragons.

Professor Diggins is the kind of person everyone would want in their neighborhood -- polite, slightly eccentric, good with children, an odd storyteller, and an authority on marine biology. He also believes in dragons. When it is proposed that he take a very long vacation (the University is thinking of getting rid of him due to his references to dragon hunting in the modern world), he is convinced, rather easily, to take five children along with him to help him in his collection of seaside specimens.

Beautiful vintage condition. Bound in pictorial boards. Tight binding and clean crisp internal pages. Very slight bumped corners. Spotless interior slightly toned due to age.
