About this book
In this picture-book adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's classic poem, a young boy discovers a shy, harmless dragon hiding in a cave. He knows the dragon means no harm, but the villagers and especially the famed dragon-slayer St. George are terrified of the creature. The boy must convince them that the dragon is friendly before any violence erupts. The story mixes gentle humor with suspense as the boy tries to change their minds.
