The English Dragon
T.P. Bragg
The
English Dragon is a political novel with a small p. It is a story
of loss of innocence; a search for identity; of what it means to be
English. Modern England is observed through the eyes of a baby. The
narrative gives the flavour of a culture obsessed with image and dogma.
There is a juxtaposition of the new and often violent urban society
with the rural, traditional community.
The author does not shy away from difficult subjects - the treatment
and housing of asylum-seekers being crucial to the novel's structure.
A few will find it uncomfortable but most will recognise the England
portrayed.
This is a very well written and enthralling story which is made even
better by its often humorous jibes at modern political dogma.
