Description
A terrible dragon has been spotted on the outskirts of town and now the villagers are fearful. Little do they know that the beast is nothing more than a lethargic character who would much rather discuss poetry with a young book loving boy. When a valiant knight comes to town to slay the dragon, the boy must talk sense into the knight or else it might be the end of the dragon. A charming tale filled with wit and fun. This story has been entertaining children since 1938 and is sure to be loved by yours as well. 64 softcover with occasional black and while illustrations. Laura
Publisher's Description of Reluctant Dragon
Now celebrating its 75th anniversary with an illuminating introduction by Leonard S. Marcus, Kenneth Grahame's classic tale of wit, courage, and compassion promises to enchant yet another generation of kindred souls.
The dragon in this story tells "the most beautiful stories you ever heard."The boy in this story is a sensible book lover.The warrior in this story is the valiant St. George.
In this beloved classic story, a young boy befriends a poetry-loving dragon living in the Downs above his home. When the town-folk send for St. George to slay the dragon, the boy needs to come up with a clever plan to save his friend and convince the townsfolk to accept him. The tale of this trio's unlikely friendship first appeared in Grahame's Dream Days and was first published as a single volume by Holiday House in 1938 with illustrations by Ernest H. Shepard. The book has been loved by readers of all ages ever since. In the 1938 review, Library Journal advised, "No attempt should be made to grade or pigeonhole this book. It belongs wherever it finds a kindred spirit."
