THE DRAGON OF WANTLEY.....is a 17th century satirical verse parody about a dragon and a brave knight.
This book was included in Thomas Percy's 1767 Reliques of Ancient Poetry. The poem is a parody of medieval romances and satirizes a local churchman.
In the poem, a dragon appears in Yorkshire and eats children and cattle. The knight More of More Hall battles the dragon and kills it. A novel, "The Dragon of Wantley", was written by Owen Wister (best known as the author of "The Virginian") in 1892. Published by Lipincott Press, the story is a comic "burlesque" (in the author's words), concerning the "true" story of the Dragon.
It is a romantic story set at Christmastime in the early 13th century. The book was a surprise success, going through four editions over the next ten years.
