This is a classic of the Children's Hour in sound radio. It was first performed in 1928, and has since been repeated six times, two of these broadcasts being in the evening programmes.
As well as a dragon this story has an ogre, a queen, a king with a beard, a princess with a white dress and hundreds of pearls, and a hero with a sword-all the ingredients, in fact, to give the children thirty minutes of grand entertainment.
