A Boy works for a Magician. The Boy polishes the Magicians wands, and catches the rabbits that the Magician pulls out of hats. But the Boys favorite job is operating the puppets for the Magicians famous puppet play, Saint George and the Dragon -- until one terrible day when, in the middle of a performance, the Boy cant find the Saint George puppet. The Magician is furious. He points a long magical finger at the Boy, and -- poof! -- the Boy is suddenly in the strange Land of Story, where he must find Saint George. The Boys hunt for Saint George is full of adventures with oddly familiar people. He saves the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe from losing her children he spoils the wolfs plan to eat Little Red Riding Hood and he narrowly escapes being eaten by the Giant at the top of Jacks beanstalk.
