The story is about famous knights fighting the dragon and failing. One of them, in golden mail and armor, stands out. Calm and dignified, he faces the fire-spitting monster without the slightest trepidation. His visor is always closed - who is inside the golden armor?
We hear about a dragon who is fighting the Christian knights, but he seems bored. A dragon who's mind is elsewhere, who is desperately looking for an alternative, for knowledge, for a teacher. A dragon who is seeking wisdom, hard to find in those days as in ours. Is somebody inside the dragon?
We hear about a princess who was captured by the dragon to be his teacher. A princess who begins to look a little bit behind appearances and who begins to like her ugly oppressor…
We hear about the final fight, the surprising solution: the Dragon Killer steps in and the dragon… (but surely you want to read this yourself). So slow, the advent of peace. Let us do something about it, let us make it happen!

The medieval flavor of both the author and illustrator complements each other well.
