Customer Reviews

Not Hardcover

I love the book. However, it was advertised as hardcover but it is a paperback.

Ahh, memories!

This looks just like the one I had growing up. I bought it for my sister and she was enthralled as I was with it.

Wonderful story!

I had this book when I was a kid. What a wonderful tale of a princess and a dragon. It's not a tale of knights slaying dragons. It's a dragon that wants to be a knight. It is so adorable, I recommend it to anyone that likes dragons and Faery Tales.

The Best Childrens Book Ever

This book has been in my family since I was young and everyone who read it admitted that it was their favorite. It has some of the best art ever done in a childrens book and the story has a good moral. Its a fun story with lots of silly characters. Herberts quest to be like a knight inspite of his timidness really teaches children about courage. Everyone should read this book no matter what age.
