Emily and her pet chicken Egg live in a cottage on the edge of the Dark Old Forest. Emily and Egg love to dance, but Emily’s brother Jock is scornful of such girly behaviour. He’s a knight, and he can roam the country looking for dragons to fight! Emily sets out into the Dark Old Forest to prove that she can fight dragons too.
In this gentle, witty story, gender stereotypes are overturned as Emily meets a knight who loves to knit and a dragon who wears a tutu and ballet shoes. Ages 4+
