Happy St George's Day to everyone.

Truly a knight to remember.

I don't think the dragon remembers much about it.

The Dragon & The George

SkidMarks, is that meant to be an explanation of this thread or an endorsement of the book, please? Sounds interesting.

The thread was because the 23rd was St George's Day, patron saint of England (& Portugal, Cyprus, Greece, Georgia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia). He is also patron saint of Moscow, Genova, Ljubljana & Beirut amongst others.

Geg had written that the dragon would not remember SG, but the book refutes that: dragons refer to all humans as "Georges", perhaps because sometime in their past a human called George helped them....................

The book is o.k. as a stand-alone, but unfortunately the author later expanded it into a series and, please note this is my opinion, nothing to do with anyone else, the series went rapidly downhill.

However, if you can find it, "The Flying Sorcerers" by Larry Niven is a book well worth reading that has almost nothing to do with Saint George, England or JFf.

I second the endorsement of The Dragon and the George! I also enjoyed the rest of the series, however. While not the greatest literature ever, the books had some good adventures and the hero tended to use his head to get out of trouble.

Thank you.

Always on the lookout for new books to read. And the time in which to spend reading...

SHoulddn't that be a pub in Wales or Devon??
