" " (double quotation marks)
If you use double quotation marks around words, those words will be present in that order.
eg. "Harry Potter"

Michael Hague, one of America's most beloved painters of fantasy, boldy captures seventeen classic dragon tales, armed only with the magic of his paintbrush. Here beside the heroics of Perseus, St. George, and Sigurd are the adventures of the girl who slew a dragon and became queen of China, as well as the dazzling comic twists of Kenneth Grahame's The Reluctant Dragon and E. Nesbit's The Dragon Tamers. Here too are such magical authors as J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Italo Calvino.

A handsome anthology to whet the appetites of the dragon-lovers among us. -- ALA Booklist
A fine collection of mostly well-known short stories and excerpts from novels about dragons, including works by J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Kenneth Grahame, Andrew Lang, and E. Nesbit. Stories include Perseus and Andromeda, The Deliverers of Their Country, and St. George and the Dragon, and excerpts from The Hobbit and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, among others. Of course, they are widely available elsewhere, but here are accompanied by Hague's lavish paintings. His dragons are imbued with highly individual personalities, including a particularly goofy-looking creature in The Reluctant Dragon. The people seemed to have stepped out of the pages of early 20th-century children's illustrations, but the glowing backgrounds and skies, in deep, rich palettes, mark them as Hague's. For fans of the artist this is another must-have; the cover is stunning. (Kirkus Reviews)
