Miss Mildred Percy has no wish to go to London. Unfortunately, her niece, Belinda, has recently absconded from Nyth y Ddraig with 1) a newly hatched white dragon, 2) over a dozen (unhatched) dragon eggs, and 3) an extraordinary surfeit of hubris. All clues lead to London, and so Mildred and company have no choice but to follow her to town. But retrieving a hoard of dragon eggs in the middle of a vast city is no easy task, especially when confronted with such impediments as journalism, pelicans, and a certain Prince Regent.
