J.R.R. Tolkien's first story concerned a "green great dragon", which he was told was not the correct way to speak of dragons. Years later, the author found the means to speak of dragons in a most compelling fashion. But how great were his dragons, and why did they like gold so much?

The Good, the Bad, and the Outlawed
All the great tragedies of Tolkien's First Age cycle are founded upon the outlaw motif. The loss of community and the moral isolation force his characters to undertake purifying journeys. But the journeys are so arduous that most who tread the outlaw path fail to redeem themselves, or must do so by paying the ultimate price.

Gerigio, Otherworldly Protector of St. John Bosco
St. John Bosco was the founder of the Silesian Order and is also remembered for his work with homeless and underprivileged boys in Turin, Italy. What is not well known about him is that he had a canine protector who kept him safe from danger in the Valdocco quarter of the city. The dog first appeared in 1852 and last appeared in 1883. The dog was a large grey wolf like animal. Dogs do not live for thirty-one years. The animal was named Gerigio because of his grey color. He was seen as far as 100 miles from Turin. The animal did not eat nor did he drink. He would appear only as Don Bosco’s protector. It was unknown where he came from or where he went after he was the priest’s guardian.
