Watercolour illustration: a big, smug green dragon with smoke curling from its nostrils sits beside Sir Hugo, a smiling young knight on a dappled grey horse, his white tabard marked with a red H, in a wood at dusk.

Sir Hugo and the Dwagon

The knights of Hamelot remember urgent appointments, which leaves Sir Hugo to face the dragon. Or is it a dwagon?

A fearsome dragon, as big as a house and as long as a street, is terrorising the villages around the Dark Wood. The knights of Hamelot leap into action… and remember urgent appointments, dry-cleaning and an aunt coming for tea.

That leaves Sir Hugo, the youngest and bravest of them all. But when he finally pokes the beast awake, it insists it isn’t a dragon at all. It’s a dwagon, and dwagons are sweet as can be.

So which is it? Only a cackling witch and her terrible song hold the answer.
