The Boy lives in a cottage with his mother and father, and the Dragon lives in a cave on the Downs. The Boy is his only friend.

'Well, all dragons must be small to begin with,' said Charlotte. 'Like everything else. P'raps this is a little dragon who's got lost. A little dragon would be rather nice to have. he might scratch and spit, but he couldn't do anything really. Let's track him down!' In this beloved classic story, a young boy befriends a poetry-loving dragon living in the Downs above his home. When the town-folk send for St. George to slay the dragon, the boy needs to come up with a clever plan to save his friend and convince the townsfolk to accept him.
