The Dragon Stoorworm
£6.99
The Dragon Stoorworm was the very first, very worst dragon that ever lived. It was ginormous: almost as big as the whole of Scotland!
Many warriors set out to battle the terrible dragon, but they did not return, until
Gentle Assipattle is no warrior but maybe together, he and the King of Scotland's daughter, Princess Gemdelovely, can free the country from the wrath of the Dragon Stoorworm.
