George, the Dragon and the Princess

Summary

Far, far away over the high, high mountains in an old castle wall, in a tiny, tiny hole there lives a little mouse called George. He's very small and rather timid and he can be a bit clumsy too. In fact, poor George is so hopeless that he can't even make lunch without burning his cheese on toast!

But when a huge and terrifying dragon attacks the castle, George springs into action! Because as fans of George and the Dragon know only too well, George has a very special talent . . .

This stunning new edition is perfect for new readers, as well as fans of George and the Dragon. This is a charming children's tale from the exceptional storyteller and illustrator, Chris Wormell.
