An extract from The Dragons of Peking:
The prince was good-hearted and determined, and had grand dreams of building Peking into a splendid city. The first thing he did was work hard with the men, women and children to build a high, solid wall with broad gates to keep enemies out. The people were delighted. Little did they know that with all their digging, clearing, carrying and building, they'd disturbed two dragons who'd been asleep in an underground cave for thousands of years.
