Tolkien's children's fantasy novel following the reluctant burglar Bilbo Baggins, who joins a company of dwarves and the wizard Gandalf on a journey to reclaim treasure guarded by the dragon Smaug.

The Iron Dragon's Daughter follows Jane, a human changeling enslaved in a factory that builds part-mechanical, part-magical dragons used as war machines, in a Faerie that runs on industrial-age technology as much as spellcraft. Michael Swanwick wrote it as a deliberately recursive, spiral narrative rather than a straight line, and returned to the same colliding fantasy-industrial world, though not the same plot, in The Dragons of Babel and The Iron Dragon's Mother. The three books share a setting and sensibility more than a continuing story.

The Dragon Knight is a series of fantasy novels begun in 1976 by American writer Gordon R. Dickson. The first book, based on the short story "St. Dragon and the George", was loosely adapted in the 1982 animated movie The Flight of Dragons by Rankin/Bass. The title here refers in part to an in-universe nomenclature, wherein the story's dragons use the name "george" as a synonym or substitute of "human", after 'St. George the Dragon-Slayer', and in part a reference to the latter.
