Found and read on Gutenberg Reader. Old style delight, the kind of story I would have read as a young girl. I'm so glad I found this, what a lovely throwback. <3

A young boy discovers an erudite, poetry-loving dragon living in the Downs above his home. The two become friends, but soon afterwards the dragon is discovered by the townsfolk, who send for St George to rid them of it. The boy introduces St George to the dragon, and the two decide that it would be better for them not to fight. Eventually, they decide to stage a fake joust between the two combatants.
