Inhaltsangabe

This book explores the known facts about St George, the famous tale of the dragon and the mass of other legends that grew up around his name. Particularly engrossing is the account of the saint's vast popularity in England through the ages.
Today, his symbol of a red cross on a white background is waved at every sporting fixture, while the George Cross remains one of the highest awards for bravery. The reason the cult of St George endures, Christopher Stace believes, is becuase he has not only a historical but also a deep spiritual significance: he is the 'knight in shining armour' who personifies the ideals of Christian chivalry.
