Farmer Giles, rather than a fairy story of any usual kind, is an imaginative hisotory of the distant and marvellous past. Its scene is the valley of the Thames and this island of Britain, while it was "still happlily divided into many kingdonms" iin the days vefore King arthur of the Seven Kingdoms. Here is a new heor, unheroic, but fortunate and shrewe, Farmer Giles of Ham, and his mare, and his dog. Here also for dragon fanciers, is another dragon, less terrible perhaps than Smaug, but no less wealthy or sily: Chrysophylax of imperial line.
