"What, what's this? Another adventurer or knight come to challenge me? Why must it always be so? I shall tell you now, good fellow, I haven't the slightest desire to do battle with you. Maybe you desire the Apple, or maybe you desire to prove your valour against me in a terrible combat, winning eternal renown for the deed. (Dragon-slayers are, after all, famous.) Still, if you raise steel against me, I will strike you down to the ground. Why must you knights always think—"

A young peasant lad has set off in search of the Golden Apple, the securing of which will win him the hand of the princess; but, as most things in life must be difficult, the Apple is guarded by a fearsome dragon in the distant land of Wealdhall. Will he win the Apple and, in doing so, the princess's hand, or will he perish miserably beneath the claws of the dragon? To what distant places will his journey take him? Whom will he meet with along the way? And will he ever get home? A fairy tale quite unlike others, The Quest of the Golden Apple will surprise you with its answer.
