Georgie And Her Dragon
“Thus begins all good fairy stories - with a request to the reader. An invitation to travel to faraway places and faraway times, or fantastic worlds peopled with equally unlikely characters. All created in the mind by the words between the covers.
This story begins with “Once upon a time...” and is followed by the next most-anticipated phrase, “there was a beautiful princess...”
Unfortunately, this particular princess - although beautiful right from the moment of her birth - wasn’t exactly welcomed by her father the King.
“What? Another damn girl?”
“Yes, Sire.” His Seneschal looked apologetic.
“How many does that make now?”
“Uh...this one’s the thirteenth, Your Majesty.”
“Shit.” The King was not known for his aristocratic turn of phrase when irritated. It was a constant trial to the Queen, who was forever trying to get him to watch his mouth.
He turned to his aide. “Don’t suppose we can drown this one, can we?”
The man looked shocked. “Absolutely not, Sire.”
