About this listen

Step into a whimsical, prehistoric England where myths come alive and bravery is a matter of perspective. The Dreadful Dragon of Hay Hill by Max Beerbohm is a delightful satirical fable that blends gentle humor with timeless themes of courage, self-discovery, and community.

When smoke rises from Hay Hill, whispers of a dreadful dragon awaken fear and excitement among the villagers. Enter Thia, a spirited young girl with more curiosity than caution, and Thol, a bashful boy eager to prove his worth despite his doubts. As the two youngsters confront not only the dragon but their own insecurities, Beerbohm’s playful wit shines through in this charming tale of inflated legends and very human fears.

Narrated with warmth and charm by Simon Relph, this audiobook offers listeners a lighthearted adventure that pokes fun at heroic conventions while celebrating the quiet courage found in unexpected places.

Perfect for fans of whimsical folklore, classic satire, and character-driven storytelling.
