Remember to give your princess a rose on St George's Day. What is the reason? St George and the Dragon: The Legend of St. George and the Dragon, written by Mark Watson and illustrated by Richard Caine, is the story of St George, the bravest and finest in the land. He is returning home from crusading with a shield and a lance at hand. As George reaches closer to the shore, he sees that the harbor is no more and the town is ravaged and torn. He sees his castle on the mountain top, bathed in a ray of light. A frightful sound comes from the pit beside the castle and a dragon rises from the gorge. He sees George and asks him if he is all alone. George says that he has no army and he will either fight and win or fight and die. The dragon flicks George off the bridge where they are standing but George is pulled in by his castle's soldiers. George makes a plan to defeat the dragon while recovering slowly.
