Other shores

Since you are denied a new story for the foreseeable future as my usual brilliance (what there is of it) is currently stashed in the closet of too little sleep, you'll have to make due with other authors and previously published works.  Here's one I came across at a used bookstore on a distant shore (all shores being distant from here).  I've tried to read Spencer's 'Faerie Queen' but haven't made much progress, more for lack of time than anything, but the tale of 'St. George and the Dragon,' is rendered beautifully in this book, both from an artistic and a literary standpoint.  Enjoy!
