Product Description

Product Description
Anton Lesser reads Kenneth Grahame's much-loved tale about a dragon who doesn't want to fight and the boy who becomes his friend. The Boy lives in a cottage with his mother and father, and the Dragon lives in a cave on the Downs. He's not the sort of dragon one might expect to meet, however - he's polite, friendly, composes poetry and purrs when he's happy. Lazy and peace-loving, he just wants to lead a quiet life. But when the villagers discover his existence, they send for St George immediately to slay the dreadful monster. So when the saint arrives, with the intention of killing him, The Boy needs to do some persuading. After all, George and the Dragon are supposed to fight - aren't they? A charming, humorous story from the acclaimed author of "The Wind in the Willows".

4.0 out of 5 stars The reluctant Dragon on cd- a very nice tale!, 6 Jan 2009
By S. Väpnargård "Auburn Raven" (Skåne Sweden) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Wonderfully read by acclaimed actor Anton Lesser, Kenneth Grahams less known story about The Reluctant Dragon really comes to life. A very funny and sweet story, much different from the world-famous Wind in the Willows by the same author.
One cd with a total listening time at about an hour- makes perfect time for a bedtime story for the bigger child or for listening in the car whilst going shopping or for any shorter drive.
I reccomend this for any child who is not too big for fairy tales (wich of course also makes it VERY suitable for adults young at heart!!)-this one is a real winner!

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm perfectly happy whit this tale, 8 Jan 2009
I am an English learner and usually listen to audiobook stories or tales in the car making my way to work or home. Up until now I used graded readers editions (from Cambridge or Oxford University press), but I decided to push it a step forward and try with some children's audiobook edited for English 'ears', not foreing ones. I've to say that although I've enjoyed 'The Reluctant Dragon' a lot, it's not as easy-lisening as graded edition I mentioned before. But, believe me, it's a beautiful story that worth all the time I'have (and will!!) spent on it.

Highly recommended.
