Malgundrax the Dragon is a bit fed up. All he wants is to live in a kingdom that leaves him alone to gather hoards of treasure, breathe fire
without being pelted by arrows, and not to be chased by angry people with flaming torches and pitchforks.
It’s not too much to ask for, is it?
When he comes upon a kingdom that hasn’t seen a dragon before, he thinks he’s made. He can’t believe they think he is a large bird. Really!!?
In this kingdom, he finds a job with Baby Bear doing deliveries. Perfect! Malc (for short) can steal things for his treasure hoard during his job, AND get paid two gold coins a week to do it!
Until… people start noticing things are missing. A spoon. A cowbell. Not to mention that Baby Bear’s accounts manager named Goldilocks has been looking at Malc funny…
A wonderful addition (No. 4) to this clever series set in the Fairytale Woods. A map in the front of the book shows where all of the Fairytale characters we know and love, live.
The three little pigs, Goldilocks, Rumpelstiltskin and more star in this Dragon Diary. This dragon discovers that following his natural dragoness is maybe not the right way to do things after all.
