Far, far away in the darkest cave in the deepest valley amongst the highest mountains there lives a huge and terrifying dragon. He can fly higher than the clouds and faster than the birds. He can burn down a forest with one blast of his fiery breath. He can smash a castle wall with a flick of his mighty tail and he can brush away an army with a sweep of his monstrous wing. This awesome beast fears no man, but he is afraid of just one thing . . . mice! Enter George: he may not look like much of a hero, but a hero he turns out to be!

Review

“Far, far away, in the darkest cave in the deepest valley amongst the highest mountains there lives a huge and terrifying dragon. With his fiery breath and mighty strength, this awesome beast fears no man, but he is afraid of just one thing…”

Here comes another fine book from the award-winning Christopher Wormell. The mighty dragon attacks a castle and captures his prey – a beautiful maiden, perhaps a princess, for his supper. None of the soldiers can stop him. But all is not lost for the mighty dragon is afraid of tiny George. Who is George? Read this exciting book filled with many colourful double-page spreads to find out. And look out for many little humorous touches in the illustrations.
