A classic retelling of St George and the Dragon from the author of The Wind in the Willows, Kenneth Grahame.
'Now, dragon,' said the Boy imploringly. 'You've got to fight him some time of other you know, 'cos he's St George and you're the dragon. Better get it over, and then we can go on with the sonnets.'
