Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Overcoming of the Dragon
He was a brave young Christian knight, strong in courage and tender in heart, and when he saw so fair a maid in tears, he asked the cause of her distress, and she told him. Fear not, maiden, he said, for I will deliver thee. Then the prin cess wept anew and besought him not to tarry lest he also perish; but St. George looked upon her and answered, God forbid that I should ?y!
I will lift my hand against this monster and will deliver thee through the power of Jesus Christ. At that moment the dragon was seen emerging from his lair, and as the princess saw his awful strength and scaly armor, she cried again to St. George to ?y while there was yet time. He said never a word, but making the sign of the cross upon his breast and calling on the name of Christ, he spurred toward the angry beast.
