520    Nigh about the middle of the Dark Ages, when ignorance, 
       greed, and superstition largely ruled the world, pretty 
       much in fact as do these forces at present, a knight and 
       his squire proceeded to their destination under the 
       setting sun. So begins this charming modern fantasy, in 
       which Sir Jasper of the Silver Lance and his squire, 
       George Pipkin, set out to right all wrongs and address all
       grievances. But the giants are dead, and the stalwart 
       heroes can find neither a robber baron to chastise nor a 
       maiden to rescue. Imagine, then, their excitement to 
       discover that in the village of Pongley-in-the-Marsh, the 
       dreaded Lavender Dragon of Yorkshire has been abducting 
       citizens. Reputed to possess the heart of a crocodile and 
       the brain of a demon, the Lavender Dragon promises to 
       prove a worthy adversary. Indeed, he turns out to be no 
       ordinary dragon, but his difference lies in his philosophy
       as well as his actions. Praised by Fantasy Literature as 
       "a delightful exercise in inverted perspective," this 
       whimsically humorous tale will enchant all lovers of 
       courtly romances.
