'Impossible to summarise and delightfully absorbing, Hadley's book
is comfortably the most unexpected history book of the year' Sunday
Times A luminous journey through a thousand years of folklore and
English history. Once upon a time in a Hertfordshire field, an
ancient yew tree hid a dragon hunted by a giant named Piers Shonks.
Today, the dragon and its slayer are the survivors of an 800-year
battle between rural legend and national record, storytellers and
sceptics. In this brilliant and lyrical history, Christopher Hadley
journeys from churches to tombs to manuscript margins, to explore
history, memory and legend, and the magical spaces where all three
meet.
