I read this book as a child and parts of it have stuck with me since - the three heads of corn, three biscuits, the dragon, summer and winter - so when I saw it in a charity shop I had to buy it again. It was the same familiar cover, and I dived right in.
It's still as enjoyable a yarn as it was when I first read it, though the latter half of the book I didn't remember at all. Two children, the midwinter equinox, the fight of nature for the light and dark of summer and winter, magic, dragons, kings and puppies, knights on horseback. What more would a youngster need to enthrall and entertain for a while. Childhood rediscovered!
