"Dragonne's Eg" is a fantasy set in Victorian times. A genteel but impoverished English schoolteacher is surprised to find that her uncle, a famous archaeologist, has left his house to her in his will, on the condition that she undertakes a quest to return a strange artifact, rumoured to be a dragon's egg, to its place of origin.

About a quarter of the way through so far, and thoroughly enjoying it.
Now finished. That was a lovely story. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd describe it as a modern fairy-tale.

Back to Wodehouse next with "The Gold Bat".
