As soon as the bells stop ringing, I' m going to carry you home to your mother, back up to the Mountain Dragon's castle...In her castle lair high in the mountains of Switzerland, lives a terrible dragon. In the village below, lives a little girl called Mimi. When she finds a baby dragon in the woodshed, she makes a brave decision that will bring joy and peace to the village for ever. It is a heart-warming Christmas adventure, that all the family can share. It is the perfect combination of magic, adventure and Christmas cheer - and makes an ideal stocking filler.
