Here is a collection of four delightful
dragon stories by two master writers for
children. The Reluctant Dragon is the best
known, but the others are equally
appealing. In The Reluctant Dragon, a boy
discovers a dragon in a nearby cave. The
villagers want to send for St George to
slay him, but he is a friendly dragon and
doesn’t want to fight! In The Island of the
Nine Whirlpools, a princess is imprisoned
and a suitor has to get past the dragon in
order to marry her. In The Fiery Dragon,
Princess Sabrinetta is kept in a dragonproof
tower, but a fiery dragon is roaming
the neighbourhood. Finally, in The Last
Dragon, the King of Cornwall’s daughter
doesn’t want to be tied to a rock awaiting
a prince to rescue her from the clutches
of a dragon. In any case, there is only one
dragon left alive…
Presented with lively music and
even the occasional amusing sound effect.
