High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Dragon Knight is a series of fantasy novels by Gordon R. Dickson (1923–2001). The first book informed the 1982 animated movie The Flight of Dragons by Rankin/Bass, but was previously published as a short story, St. Dragon and the George. The title here refers in part to an in-universe nomenclature, wherein the story`s dragons use the name "george" as a synonym or substitute of "human", after `St. George the Dragon-Slayer`, and in part a reference to the latter.
