A peaceful, poetic dragon is befriended by a book-loving boy and they spend many wonderful days together high up in the hills, until one day, when the townsfolk find out that there’s a dragon on their doorstep and call in a dragonslayer to help them! The Reluctant Dragon is a classic story from the author of The Wind In The Willows, about a Dragon and a Knight that don’t want to fight, a town that desperately wants them to, and a boy that tries to bring them all together. Adapted by Chris Derochie to be more accessible to children aged 6-12, with modern language and shorter pages but still retaining the same story as the original version.
