 A pleasant tale which will catch the attention of the child listener January 4, 2010
A. Kirk (UK)
Some stories appeal to both children and their parents, this one will certainly attract the younger set, but, while pleasant, it is not really so geared at adults. However, it is refreshing to have the option to play stories not tied into TV shows or modern 'attempts to entertain' children, a good straight forward story, and one which will provide the opportunity to discuss issues about fighting / peace / relationships with your children.

I brought this for a friends little boy who was having trouble sleeping. He wouldn't stay in bed. I brought this and said he must listen to it at bed time and tell me how the story ends. He has yet to hear the ending as it relaxes him and he falls asleep before the end. My friend thinks its marvellous.

I bought this tape along with two others ( Just So Stories & My Completely Best Story Collection) for my 5 year old grandson, to listen to on a long journey down through France, this year. The Reluctant Dragon was his favourite, inspite of the very grown up vocabulary, which did surprise but delight me - I have to say that I thought it was fabulous, and was amazed that this was the tape he requested in preference to the more 'easy listening' options. Highly recommended.
 OK but not great August 4, 2009

I have to admit to being disappointed by this recording - it appealed because this has been one of my favourite stories ever since it was included in one of the bumper books anthologies that used to be a feature of Christmas presents for children in the 50s so I fell on this recording expecting a nice dose of nostalgia. Bad mistake. For a start it removes the beginning and end which sets it up as a story told to the Grahame children on a cold winter evening walk after finding tracks in the snow and then Anton Lesser indulges in the common actor's fault of assuming phony rural accents. The narrator's voice as a story teller should prevail over the actor's here and fails lamentably so that the whole atmosphere of the tale is lost.
If you really want to know the story of the reluctant dragon then read it in Kenneth Grahame's combined tales of his siblings and their childhood in "Dream Days" and "The Golden Age" and hear it from the voice in your head and give this sorry travesty a miss. The books are a wonderful evocation of a Victorian childhood lived by five orphans being brought up by an assortment of aunts and uncles - the Olympians with their incomprensible values and requirements for correct behaviour - to be undermined and subverted by any right-thinking child.

A lovely story, with a message for everyone. A great bedtime story for the middle of the day.
