Default Date format in a text string

I have a date in A1 and need to reference it in a line of text. So, in cell
A2, I used the string '="This figure is from " & a1'. But, the result looks
like 'This figure is from 39230'.

How do I write the formula so it would read the date as 5/28/07 instead? I
tried formatting the cell as a date cell, but that didn't work.
