Synopsis
Digory is an ordinary, quiet, dreamy and gentle boy. He likes playing his lute, singing songs and picnicking in the forest - quite unlike all the other boys in his village of Batty-by-Noodle. When he stumbles upon a large tooth while poking about in the sticks and nonchalantly tucks it in his hat, little does he suspect the awesome welcome he will get on his return to the village that day. Hailed as a hero for slaying a dragon (which, as we know, he never did) and hurriedly knighted for his courageous act, Digory is sent off on his deaf horse, Barley, to be a chivalrous knight and perform chivalrous deeds. Digory is not really a dragon slayer but, in spite of this fact, will he be able to live up to his name, save the day and the damsel of his dreams?

From AudioFile
Whimsical dragon-slaying adventures will have young boys reaching for their own armor and swords. Digory's transformation from village coward to knight errant is ably chronicled by narrator Richard Mitchley. Mitchley eschews high drama for a laid-back, believable reading and inserts gentle humor at Digory's riotous wanderings about the countryside. Mitchley's ability to skirt farce adds significantly to the book's appeal as a family listen. While the Briticisms may occasionally stymie young Americans, listeners will enjoy the querulous voices of the forgetful king and the roaring of Digory's dragon. Young children will cheer Digory in this draconic tale. C.A. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
