Description:
Outside the English village of Guildemere a young boy overcomes his prejudices about dragons when he discovers the most unusual one in a cave – one who would rather paint watercolors and write poetry than fight and breathe fire. Their secret friendship flourishes until St. George, the famous dragon slayer, comes to town. The townspeople, seeing the opportunity for some excitement, tell St. George a variety of tall tales about the dragon's dastardly deeds and upon hearing their exaggerations, St. George swears that he will slay the dragon in mortal combat. However, the boy, the dragon, and the knight arrive at a delightful compromise in this charming adaptation of the whimsical and delightful book by Kenneth Grahame and directed by Northwestern faculty member Lynn Kelso.
