The Reluctant Dragon CD by Kenneth Grahame, performed by Jim Weiss

Can a brave knight, a misunderstood dragon, and a clever boy find a way to win a fight without actually fighting?

Enjoy Jim Weiss’s new audio performance of this beloved story from the author of The Wind in the Willows.

Everyone is in a panic–a dragon has been discovered in a cave near the town!

The people call for that famous dragon-slaying knight, Saint George, to defeat the monstrous beast, but when one smart little boy actually meets the dragon, he finds a harmless, friendly creature who would much rather write poems than burn villages.

Can the boy find a way to make peace before the knight and the dragon have to fight? Find out in this gentle, humorous classic from Kenneth Grahame (the author of The Wind in the Willows), narrated by master storyteller Jim Weiss.

One of the most universally studied of the English classics, Beowulf is considered the finest heroic poem in Old English. Written ten centuries ago, it celebrates the character and exploits of Beowulf, a young nobleman of the Geats, a people of southern Sweden. Beowulf first rescues the royal house of Denmark from two marauding monsters, then returns to rule his people for 50 years, ultimately losing life in a battle to defend the Geats from a dragon's rampage. The poem combines mythical elements, Christian and pagan sensibilities, and actual historical figures and events in a narrative that ranges from vivid descriptions of fierce fighting and detailed portrayals of court life to earnest considerations of social and moral dilemmas. Originally written in Old English verse, it is presented here in an authoritative prose translation by R. K. Gordon. Reprint from Anglo-Saxon Poetry, J. M. Dent & Sons Ltd., London, 1926. Learn More

Considered by some children's book authorities to be the d'Aulaire's finest work, this biography of Leif Erickson, son of Eric the Red, best exemplifies the artist's skill in Norwegian folk art, style, and history. Their well-researched text is lavishly illustrated with Viking rune-like carvings, from the dragon prow of the ship that Leif must hurry to remove, lest it anger the spirits of the land, to the stave churches so unique to Norway. Landscapes depict emerald green fjords against floes of ice and mountains of snow. The grand halls of King Olav Trygvason are ornamented with carvings of Nordic mythical creatures while tame polar bear cubs romp and play. In this setting the young Leif grows to manhood and learns the skills of navigation, sailing his own ship when just a teen from Greenland to Norway. It is on his return journey that he discovers a new land—what we now know to be Newfoundland. Later he sends settlers there—actually establishing a colony. His tale is aptly and authentically told in the d'Aulaires's inimitable style. 58 pgs Learn More

Being the Second Part of The Lord of the Rings

By J.R.R. Tolkien

The Lord of the Rings saga continues in The Two Towers, the second volume in J.R.R. Tolkien's epic adventure.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Frodo and his Companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard, Gandalf, in a battle in the Mines of Moria. And Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape, the rest of the company was attacked by Orcs. Now they continue the journey alone down the great River Anduin—alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.

“Among the greatest works of imaginative fiction of the twentieth century. The book presents us with the richest profusion of new lands and creatures, from the beauty of Lothlórien to the horror of Mordor.”—Sunday Telegraph
