\"\"<\/a>This short story is a series of scientific letters between Isabella Camherst and Benjamin Talbot in “The Falchester Weekly Review” about a supposed discovery made by Talbot.<\/p>\n

It’s a brief story, and silly, since it’s all the politeness of scientists accusing each other of malfeasance. <\/p>\n

I thank Mr. Talbot for his solicitous attention to the well-being of both cockatrices and my feminine heart, but I had hoped for rather more specific an answer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s quite enjoyable for what it is, and although I’m not sure I’d recommend it for those who haven’t read the Natural History of Dragons books, it’s a fun and I quite liked it.<\/p>\n

I’m just frustrated that my library doesn’t have the rest of the ebooks to borrow.
