SynopsisWhen a dragon is discovered living in a cave on the Downs, a young boy named Braxton investigates, determined to see this fiery beast for himself. But the creature Braxton finds is far different than the dragons he’s read about in the books; this dragon is kind and peaceful and loves writing poetry. Then the local villagers learn that a dragon is living nearby and call upon the great St. George the Dragon-Slayer to save them. Can Braxton convince St. George and the others that the dragon is their friend before it’s too late? |
