Synopsis

A tale of long ago, when dragons were still common.

The Duke and his Knights, having slain the last dragon in the Dukedom, are looking forward to a nice period of inactivity.

Sir Oblong Fitz Oblong, however, declares they must go elsewhere to do further good works.

To avoid this, he is sent on a one man mission to overcome the dragon in the Bolligrew Islands.

There he meets the wicked 15th Baron and his blundering Squire Blackheart and others.

After passing through many fantastic adventures, he at last encounters the Dragon.-21 men
