«Sant Jordi i el drac gandul» is the children's story by Kenneth Grahame, published by Estrella Polar in paperback (80 pages, in Catalan).
The story starts from the legend of Sant Jordi and wonders what would have happened if the knight had to face a lazy, peaceful dragon, convinced that two don't fight if one doesn't want to. Instead of fighting, that dragon prefers poetry and a quiet life, and the story invites us to accept those who are different without discriminating against them.
It is part of the Odissea 2 collection, with illustrations by E. H. Shepard and translation by Víctor Aldea Lorente. The original story was published in 1898.
Recommended reading for children from 8 years old, with a peaceful and humorous view of the legend of Sant Jordi.
Kenneth Grahame was a Scottish writer. He is best remembered for the classic of children's literature The Wind in the Willows (1908). Born in Scotland, he spent most of his childhood with his grandmother in England, following the death of his mother and his father's inability to look after the children. After attending St Edward's School in Oxford, his ambition to attend university was thwarted and he joined the Bank of England, where he had a successful career. Before writing The Wind in the Willows, he published three other books: Pagan Papers (1893), The Golden Age (1895), and Dream Days (1898).
