Video about St George and the Dragon

April 22, 2013 By Steven Loveridge

The myth of St George and the Dragon is embedded in the history of not only England but also many other parts of the world. In the most recorded version of the story, an evil dragon demands a sheep from a kingdom every day to feed. Once all the sheep have been killed, the dragon demands the sacrifice of a child every day, drawn by lot from all the households of the kingdom. One day, the princess is chosen to be the victim. By chance, St George arrives and bravely subdues the dragon before killing it and saving the kingdom from this evil. In many versions of the story, he also falls in love with, and marries, the princess.

Watch a video about St George and the Dragon, charmingly portrayed in Lego for children:

“The girls decided that if they tried to get dressed, they would make too much noise. They also thought that if they went to wake Harry, they would make even more noise and anyway, Grace still thought he would be mean to her. So they put on their dressing gowns and crept along the corridors avoiding as many of the squeaking floorboards as they could.”

“The problem with The Palace Library is that no one knows where it is. In fact, very few people know that it even exists. Of the very few people who know it exists, very few know how to find it.”

“Grace knew she wasn’t allowed in the Long Gallery. She also knew she would be late for tea. But it looked far too much fun. The room was vast, with old tapestries lining the walls. Most of all, the floors were made for running and sliding. Grace sped along the old carpets, then she skidded along the floorboards between them.”
