The Legend of St George and the Dragon – Mark Watson

Link to this book HERE

I was very pleased to find this book. I love medieval knights and legends and I was not disappointed with this book. The story tells how St George went to fight a mighty dragon. After he loses the first battle he gets very injured and unable to fight back again. When he recovers he melts his armor and weapons and creates an iron box. He puts his fears inside and is able to face the dragon again. The story is in rhyme, it is entertaining and well written. There are some very nice iconic moments. The pictures have an interesting style. A mix of middle age iconography, symbolism, expressionism and children’s illustration. I quite liked it. Original and well-executed. Can be appealing for both children and adults. The formating and compositions were very good. A very beautiful balanced book. I strongly recommend this book for kids and just anyone who enjoys beautiful books.
