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 make humorous
jibes at modern political dogma.
