A boy who has befriended a kindly, peaceful dragon must convince the fearful villagers and St. George the dragon killer that there is no cause for concern while arranging for the fight they long to see.
Kenneth Grahame (1859 - 1932) is remembered today for two works, The Wind in the Willows, and The Reluctant Dragon. The Reluctant Dragon was first published as part of Grahame's collection Dream Days.
