I had never read about St. George and the Dragon before this summer. The story was referred to several times in my son's summer reading book The Historian. And now as we have been reading about the middle ages, we have read a bit about St. George. Even though I don't know much about the story, we did read one version of his story today. A great story for little boys who fill their imaginations with knights, swords, and fire-breathing dragons. George was apparently stolen away by the fairies to be kept safe for his destiny. He came back to save his land from the dragon. He was wounded but not defeated and finally prevailed over the dragon. He was offered the hand of the princess, but left to fulfill his obligation to the fairy queen. After six years, he returned to marry the princess and become St. George of Merry England.
