My Father's Dragon

Ruth Stiles Gannett (illus. Ruth Chrisman Gannett) · Random House (New York) · 1948

US-only true first — Random House, New York, 1948. There is no earlier UK or foreign-language edition; Gannett was American and Random House published first, with British and other editions following. The two sequels have their own Random House, New York firsts: Elmer and the Dragon (1950) and The Dragons of Blueland (1951). Omnibus 'Three Tales of My Father's Dragon' volumes are firsts thus, not firsts.
