What a fun George and the dragon tale! It is a wonderful tale of how no one really fits in with others' preconceived notions.
The multiple narrators resulted in an old style radio play.

A business card tucked into this showed me it had been twenty one years since I’d last re-read this. Far too long. The charm of Grahame’s language and the economy of Shepherd’s pen and ink drawings are as enchanting today as the first time I heard and saw them as a child.

I’m not sure today’s children would put up with some of the archaic language. This book instantly takes me back to reading with my beloved Grandpa and Dad, and I will forever treasure it for those memories.

This is awesome! I listened to it thanks to librivox.org and was totally surprised by the coolness of the story. St. George, the dragon, and the boy make this story work in ways that I can't adequately explain here.
