“A wonderful story about peace, war, and using your brain…a medieval fable with implications for the nuclear age.” Entertainment Weekly
Description
When a dragon is discovered up on the Downs, the Boy is not in the least surprised. He's always known that cave was a dragon cave—it seems only right for a dragon to be living in it.
The Boy decides to pay a visit to the cave, and he thinks he knows just what to expect. But this particular dragon is not a bit like the ones in fairy tales.
