Discover The Lavender Dragon by Eden Phillpotts, a charming fantasy novel that playfully reimagines the legends of dragons, knights, and medieval adventure.
Originally published in 1923, the story follows Sir Jasper of the Silver Lance and his loyal squire, George Pipkin, as they set out in search of heroic deeds in a world where the age of chivalry appears to have faded. Their quest takes an unexpected turn when they encounter the mysterious Lavender Dragon, a creature whose wisdom and compassion challenge traditional ideas of heroism, good, and evil. Combining wit, satire, and imaginative storytelling, Phillpotts transforms familiar fairy-tale conventions into a delightful philosophical fantasy.
Best known for his novels of Devonshire life and his mystery fiction, Eden Phillpotts also wrote several works of fantasy. The Lavender Dragon has earned lasting recognition as a classic of early twentieth-century fantasy and was later selected for Lin Carter's Great Short Novels of Adult Fantasy anthology, introducing it to a new generation of readers.
This carefully formatted Public Domain edition preserves the complete original text, making it an excellent addition to collections of classic fantasy, fairy tales, medieval fiction, and imaginative literature.
