The Reluctant Dragon by Kenneth Grahame
5.0
This was a fun story about a boy who meets a dragon who is quite unlike all the dragons in the stories. Rather than going about setting fire to villages and killing people and stealing animals and such, this dragon is quite content to lay down and sleep when he's not telling his new friend a story.
But the village simply will not stand for having a dragon nearby. Something must be done about it. Mind you, they don't really care if the dragon is killed, they just want to see a really good fight. Thus enters Sir George, who has come to slay the dragon - unless he can be convinced that the dragon really is no harm to the good humans living nearby.
I really enjoyed listening to this story, and because of its short length, it will probably be one that I listen to again when I need a quick feel-good story with a wonderful narrator.
