Really enjoyed this book. Found out what happened all those years ago. It explained why we have St George's Day as a holy day

The illastrasions are expert. The painting at the back of the book was painted in the 1400s I couldn’t believe it

I like this book because George saved the princess from getting eaten by the dragon.It is a lot of gold when the king gave all the gold to the handsome Knight.

I liked this book because it had a dragon that died by saint george. Saint George killed him because it tried to kill the princess. Read the book to see what happend before all of this.

I thought this book was good because a knight defeated a dragon and saved a princess.
