Product Description
Loris peaceful English village is being overrun by a rowdy and mischievous Renaissance fair
Lori Shepherd loves living in the small English village of Finch, but as her eighth summer in the town approaches she finds herself wishing for something exciting to spice up her all-too-familiar routine. When King Wilfreds Faire opens nearby, Lori gets her wish and more. The age of chivalry lives again at the Renaissance fair. Wizards, wenches, magicians, and minstrels cajole the fairgoers while lords quaff, jesters joke, and knights battle in the joust arena. But Lori discovers that its not all pageantry and play.
A sinister figure is stalking the angel-voiced madrigal singer. A jealous rival has sabotaged the Dragon Knights weapons. And an evil assassin is trying to murder Good King Wilfred. With Aunt Dimitys otherworldly guidance, Lori races to save her dear village and risks her neck to keep the medieval revelry from ending in tragedy.
Aunt Dimity Slays the Dragon is another gem in Athertons perennially beloved cozy series, sure to enchant her many loyal fans and attract new ones.

I LOVE Aunt Dimity books and this is no exception. They are fun, lite, gripping stories with a touch of fantasy. I look forward to every February when N. Atherton releases another great mystery.

Nancy Atherton writes the coziest of cozy mysteries. In fact, the first book in this series, Aunt Dimity's Death, is on "The 100 favorite Mysteries of the 20th century" list by the International Mystery Booksellers Association. A cozy mystery, by definition, is as much interested in the characters' day to day life, relationships, and experiences as it is in the mystery itself, so don't expect mean streets, cynical P.I's, or hardened criminals here. You may; however, want to try the Honey cakes recipe.
Reading a new Nancy Atherton book is like visiting an old friend. On this visit, Lori goes to the Renn. Fair, and we go along, as well, experiencing it through her eyes. I can't get enough of these books. More, more, more!

Great read as usual worth waiting for. If haven't read her books start from the being and read on. You will really enjoy the stories.Lori the main character is always getting into more than she can handle and Aunt Dimity must come to the rescue. When you get the books you must read on for you cannot wait to find out who done it or why. But please if you are a new reader start from the being.

I do love and participate in Renn Faires - not Ren Fests as the book says they are called in the States. And I thoroughly enjoyed this book despite its incorrect references.
I do not think it was Nancy Atherton's best Aunt Dimity book (by far), but it was a fun, quick read. I can't get enough of Lori and her family and friends, Finch, and Aunt Dimity. I hope this series continues on for a very long time.
One question for anyone who has read this - where the heck did Lady Amelia come from at the end of the book? Who is she?
