Brock and the Dragon

Another challenge to male and female stereotypes in a gently comic story. Brock, the king's third son, is very half-hearted about assuming his knight's heritage, 'I hate wearing armour. It's beastly hot inside and the view's limited.' But forth he is forced to go to slay dragons and rescue maidens. Lady Evadne is 'this year's sacrifice to the local dragon's but she's got no intention of being 'a meek little sacrifice like Lady Arabella last year and all the girls before her'. Exactly how they get together and what happens to the dragon (himself a bit reluctant) makes a very entertaining tale.
