The Dragon and The George is the novel the film- Flight of Dragons was based upon and as such, holds a dear place in my heart. The film that is. Now, the book too.
A fantastical story on every sense that drives to make the mythical and magical something within the realms of possibility or at least, within scientific explanation.
Plot: Jim and his girlfriend Angela are University Graduate students, looking to find their first home together. While waiting for his girlfriend to be released from her academic obligations, Jim gets miffed and storms into her laboratory, just in time to see her sitting in a chair, head in a helmet and subsequently, vanish. In rage, Jim turns to the professor and demands to be sent after her to get her back.
The next thing Jim knows, he's in a magical realm and a rather large Dragon seems to be bellowing at him. Turns out, Jim's mind has been transported into that of a Dragon named Gorbash, the distant relative of the elderly and grouchy Dragon yelling at him. It now falls to Jim to find his lady love and rescue her from the clutches of evil.
Questing, Knights, Dire Wolves, Archers, Bandits, Ogres and Sandmirks (don't know what they are? Read the book!), awseome!
I was so happy to find this book, happier still to have read it, sad to have finished it and now, happy again, I found the sequel.
