Description
This story was intended for eight-year-old girls, but readers of all ages have loved and cherished its message and wisdom. It tells of a princess in an improvised kingdom, where their treasure was long-ago stolen by a dragon. Since none of the princes who tried to recover it succeeded, Mattie sets out to slay the dragon and reclaim the treasure. But when they finally meet, she finds she can communicate with the dragon, whose name is Counselor. They become fast friends, and with tenderness, wisdom, and love, Mattie succeeds where violence had failed.
