The dreadful dragon of Hay Hill by Sir Max Beerbohm, an English-language classic.
The dreadful dragon of Hay Hill is a work by Sir Max Beerbohm.
From the opening pages: “In the faint early dawn of a day in the midst of a golden summer, a column of smoke was seen rising from Hay Hill, rising thickly, not without sparks in it. Danger to the lives of the dressmakers in Dover Street was not apprehended. The fire-brigade was not called out. The fire-brigade had not been called into existence. Dover Street had not yet been built. I tell of a time that was thirty-nine thousand years before the birth of Christ.”
