Owen Wister is best known for The Virginian, the novel that invented the modern Western, but The Dragon of Wantley (1892) reveals a very different and delightfully playful side of his talent. Drawing on an old English ballad about a dragon, a boastful knight, and a great deal of bravado, Wister retells the tale with mock-heroic irony and a light comic touch that keeps it entertaining throughout.
A charming and unexpected piece from an author not usually associated with fantasy or comedy. Download this free EPUB, take a deep breath, and face the dragon with all appropriate caution.
