Miss Mildred Percy inherits a dragon.
Ah, but we’ve already got ahead of ourselves…
Miss Mildred Percy is a spinster. She does not dance, she has long stopped dreaming, and she certainly does not have adventures. That is, until her great uncle has the audacity to leave her an inheritance, one that includes a dragon’s egg.
The egg - as eggs are wont to do - decides to hatch, and Miss Mildred Percy is suddenly thrust out of the role of “spinster and general wallflower” and into the unprecedented position of “spinster and keeper of dragons.”
But England has not seen a dragon since… well, ever. And now Mildred must contend with raising a dragon (that should not exist), kindling a romance (with a humble vicar), and embarking on an adventure she never thought could be hers for the taking.

Overall the story was very enjoyable and funny. However, the plot was extremely slow moving. Even though we see the dragon very early in the novel nothing seems to get going until around the 60% mark. And the writing style is funny but the author adds so many asides that it made the whole book extremely long winded. Like an entire paragraph would be dedicated to a funny description or a comment from the author about word choice or Mildred's internal monologue about one thing a person said. It was always funny but it made the chapters feel so long.
