Saurus
by Eden Phillpots (1938)
Eden Phillpotts (4 November 1862 – 29 December 1960) was an English author, poet and dramatist. He was born in India, educated in Plymouth, Devon, and worked as an insurance officer for 10 years before studying for the stage and eventually becoming a writer. - Wikipedia
Synopsis:
"A spaceship from another world contains an egg that hatches into an intelligent lizard. This was the first story that attempted to use an alien visitor as an objective observer to comment on the state of contemporary human civilization, and is rather more sympathetic than most work in this vein." - Anatomy of Wonder (1995)
