Sintesi dell'editore

The Boy lives in a cottage with his mother and father, and the Dragon lives in a cave on the Downs. The Boy is his only friend. The Dragon is not at all the sort of Dragon one might expect to meet, however: he's polite and friendly.

teaches without being didactic

For whatever reason, I'm revisiting books I read as a kid and books I read to my kids when they were little. I love Kenneth Grahame's way of never talking down to a child in his books. For those who love a good animal character, this one about the dragon, the kid, and St. George is a classic and it teaches diversity and individual identity in a way that no school book could.

Wonderful!

The whole family enjoyed this one! It’s quick enough to get through that we’ve listened to it several times. The narration is of wonderful quality and I have no complaints!

Classically Refreshing!

What a wonderful book to revive in children and adults the love of listening to a rich literary piece! This is a beautiful, passionate tale with vocabulary to inspire and challenge! The noun governs the verb throughout this tale.

A charming dragon meets a witty boy 🎆👏🎆

A book that had me laughing and nervously expecting the worst but, thankfully, my expectations weren't met. I LOVED this story. If you can listen to the audiobook Anton Lesser is marvelous.

a light hearted parody

it was a fun parody of King George and the Dragon with a nod to Puff the Magic Dragon. I loved the narrator's voices but my 10 year old daughter struggled to understand the story because of the accents. I love a happy ending.

quicky fun

working past the accent was a little struggle, but if you can do that it's a fun little story

THE HAPPY BOHEMIAN DRAGON

THE SIN OF ROMANCING
I am normally a stickler for a dragon having an attitude, being selfish, etc., but I will make an exception for this story. I liked the story and I liked all the characters including the LAZY dragon. This is a fun read and teaches a lot about friendship.

narrator
Only four stars on the narrator, as he did not distinguish well between characters. At times I could not tell who was talking between the three main characters. It was not bad enough to stop you from listening to this. On sale now for $1.95 for almost an hour. That is less than minimum wage was when I was a kid.

Great Quick Story

Review of audible edition : Very good narrator! Lasted right under 55 minutes.. Good story, as an adult enjoyed listening along with the kids.

Absolutely Perfect

Wonderful story of course but the narration here lifts it to a superlative level. Anton Lesser is unsurpassable

Charmingly written and told

This is simply a lovely, short story with gentle messages about, among other things, not judging a book by its cover. Perfect for children, but perhaps even more enjoyable for adults.
