About this listen

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.

Grandkids (5 and 7) and I thoroughly enjoyed the story, and the narrator was delightful! Good vehicle for discussion - why do so many folks want to fight or watch others fight? Isn’t there a better way? Even though the solution was not an entirely honest one, it was a win for all involved. Perfect for an hour-long car ride.

Wonderful!

Both my grandson and I loved this short story. We listened to it on a short road-trip we took together today. The performance was great as were the descriptions of the characters especially the dragon. I really liked the fact that the dragon was more interested in poetry than fighting battles. Left me with a smile on my face.

Loved it!!!

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.

Classically Refreshing!

I’d say that this is a perfect meeting of material and performer, but Anton Lesser is a glorious narrator of any story. But this is a delicious story and Anton Lesser releases all of the character and humour you’d expect from the author of The Wind In the Willows. A joy.
