From the inimitable duo of Russell Hoban and Quentin Blake, the pair behind the hilarious tales of Captain Najork, comes a story about a little boy, a fire-breathing dragon, and their sky-high adventure! "I can make fire come out of my nose and mouth," the dragon under the pavement tells John. "I can fly. I can spin gold into straw if you have any gold." John doesn't have any gold - and he doesn't need any straw. (Not yet, anyway.) The dragon tells John that if he fights the dragon and wins, the dragon will take him flying." What a challenge! Where will it lead? John soon finds out - and he also finds out that you just never know when a bundle of straw might come in handy. With sword-flashing excitement, a moon landing and plenty of magic, this irresistible page-turner is brought back into print in a bigger format - and a beautiful, more colourful, new edition.
"An effortless merging of the everyday and the magical is a hallmark of Russell Hoban's stories. Here, the magic is subtle and funny, and needs only the simplest of explanations to seem plausible [...] Quentin Blake's ebullient illustrations capture the carefree spirit of imaginary play in this reissued adventure." --The Guardian
"With plenty of excitement - and magic - this bigger and even better edition of Ace Dragon Ltd is an absolute page-turner with great humour in the pictures." --Inis Reading Guide
