Custodial history: The collection was briefly listed and re-boxed by Ralph Covell in 1992. Although Young had arranged his material in some files, the titles of these did not bear much relation to the contents. Covell did not list and box the drafts of The Fish or the Dragon: this was done when the collection was properly listed in 2001.

Scope and content/abstract: The collection consists of correspondence in English and Chinese (1938, 1946-86); material relating to Young's study of the Chinese language; material used by Young for evangelical work in China (1930s-1950s) and other miscellaneous items from his time in China; articles and sermons by Young in English mainly written after his return to Scotland; journals, articles and newspaper cuttings in English and Chinese mainly relating to China and the church (1940s-1980s); photographs, pictures and lantern slides of Chinese people and scenes (1920s-1980); manuscript drafts and early versions of The Fish or the Dragon; and various artefacts and cloth and material items.

Related material: The archives of the Baptist Missionary Society are held at the Angus Library, Regent's Park College, Oxford. Young's The Living Christ in Modern China (London, 1947) is in the library of the Centre for the Study of Christianity in the Non-Western World. Young published The Fish or the Dragon privately and a copy of this is in the Centre library. A memoir by H. W. Burdett was deposited at the same time as the Young collection (see the Centre's small collections).

St. George and the Dragon is a small cabinet painting by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael, 1504-1506, now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The saint wears the blue garter of the English Order of the Garter, reflecting the award of this decoration in 1504 to Raphael's patron Guidobaldo da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino, by King Henry VII of England. The first word of the order's motto, "HONI" can be made out. The painting was presumably commissioned by the Duke, either to present to the English emissary who brought the regalia to Urbino, Sir Gilbert Talbot, or to Henry himself - recent scholarship suggests the latter. The honour paid to a minor Italian ruler reflected Henry's appreciation of the cultural prestige of Renaissance Italy as much as any diplomatic pepe. The traditional subject, Saint George and the Dragon, combining chivalry and Christianity, is appropriate for the occasion; like his father, Guidobaldo was a condottiero, or proprietor of a band of mercenary soldiers. In the early stages of his career Raphael painted a number of tiny cabinet paintings, including another St George in the Louvre, and the Vision of a Knight in the National Gallery in London.

By 1627 the painting belonged to William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke (1580-1630), and was at Wilton House in Wiltshire. Either the 3rd or 4th earl presented it to King Charles I of England. After the English Civil War it was sold in one of the sales of the Royal Collection at Somerset House in London on 19 December 1651. Soon after it was in France. The painting was later a highlight of the Pierre Crozat collection which was acquired through Diderot's mediation by Catherine II of Russia in 1772. For a century and a half, the panel hung in the Imperial Hermitage Museum. It was one of the most popular paintings in the entire collection of the Tsars. In March 1931 it was part of the Soviet sale of Hermitage paintings, and bought by Andrew Mellon, as part of his founding donation to the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. This and other foundational artworks, including paintings by Jan van Eyck, Sandro Bottecelli, and Titian, helped place the National Gallery among the most significant collections of Renaissance art.

Pete's Dragon is a 1977 live-action/animated musical film from Walt Disney Productions and the first Disney film to be recorded in the Dolby Stereo sound system. It is a live-action film but its title character, a dragon named Elliott, is animated. The story is about a young orphan named Pete who enters the town of Passamaquoddy a small fishing community in Northeastern Maine. His only friend is a dragon named Elliott, who also acts as his protector and can make himself invisible and is generally visible only to Pete, which occasionally lands Pete in trouble with the locals. Also starring , Mickey Rooney, Jim Dale, Red Buttons, Jeff Conaway, and Shelley Winters. The film was directed by Don Chaffey, and the songs are by and .[2]

The song "Candle on the Water" received an Academy Award nomination, but lost to "You Light Up My Life" from the film of the same title. Reddy's recording (with a different arrangement than the one her character sings in the film) was released as a single by Capitol Records, reaching #27 on the Adult Contemporary charts. The movie also received a nomination for Original Song Score and Its Adaptation or Adaptation Score, losing to A Little Night Music.

In the early 20th century, a young dusty-haired orphan named Pete is fleeing his abusive adoptive hillbilly family, the Gogans. As Lena Gogan and company pursue him ("The Happiest Home in These Hills"), an unseen force, which Pete calls Elliott (silent), knocks the Gogans into a mud pit. Lena, her husband "Merle (silent)", and their sons Grover and "Willie (silent)" are determined to find Pete because, in Lena's own words, "We paid $50 for that kid, and we ain't got fifty more." The lazy, inept and constantly bickering Grover and Willie are told by their equally lazy parents that if they don't get Pete back, the boys will have to work the farm.

The next morning, Pete and Elliott, revealed to be a green and pink animated dragon who also has the power of invisibility, share breakfast ("Boo Bop Bop Bop Bop (I Love You, Too)") and decide to visit Passamaquoddy, a nearby village where the unseen Elliott, performing clumsy antics, causes Pete to be labeled a source of ill luck and must flee. Lampie, the drunken old lighthouse keeper, stumbles out of a tavern and encounters Pete. A mischievous Elliott makes himself visible to him and a terrified Lampie runs into the bar to warn the townsfolk ("I Saw a Dragon"). His capable daughter, Nora takes him back to their home, the local lighthouse, settles him down, and puts him to bed. Meanwhile, in a seaside cave, Pete scolds Elliott for causing trouble. Just as the two make up, Nora appears, having spotted Pete earlier. She offers Pete shelter and they talk ("It's Not Easy"). Pete is inquisitive and soon learns the story of Nora's fiancé, Paul, whose ship was reported lost at sea the previous year. Pete promises to ask Elliott about Paul and Nora accepts, believing Elliott to be an imaginary friend.

The next morning, Doc Terminus, a medicine showman, and his shill, Hoagy, haphazardly arrive and manage to win over the gullible townspeople, who are initially angered by their return ("Passamasloddy"). That evening Pete visits Elliot and Nora thanks her father for pretending that the dragon exists. Lampie insists he actually saw a dragon and Nora tells him to be realistic, to which her father retorts that her hoping for Paul’s return is just as ridiculous. Lampie apologizes for his outburst and excuses himself, giving Nora time to think ("Candle on the Water"). At the tavern, Lampie tells Terminus and Hoagy about the dragon. Terminus dismisses the tale, but Hoagy agrees to go to the cave. After an encounter with Elliott, Hoagy offers the dragon some liquor as a gesture of peace, which triggers a fiery belch that chases the pair away. The local fishermen complain about the recent scarcity of fish and believe Pete is the cause. Nora reminds them the fishing grounds shift, and that Pete should be welcomed in town ("There's Room for Everyone"). Nora takes Pete to school, where Pete is punished unfairly by the strict teacher as a result of Elliott's antics. An enraged Elliott smashes into the building.

Terminus, now convinced of Elliot's existence and having learned that dragon anatomy has many medicinal uses ("Every Little Piece'"), makes Pete an offer for Elliott, which Pete refuses. Later, Pete accepts Nora and Lampie's offer to stay with them permanently ("Brazzle Dazzle Day"). The Gogans arrive in town and confront them ("Bill of Sale"), only to be firmly defied by Nora and thwarted by Elliott. Terminus makes a deal with the Gogans and convinces the superstitious locals that helping him capture the dragon will solve their problems. That evening, a storm begins to blow. Pete tries to tell Nora the good news that Elliott has located Paul. However Nora, still believing that Pete has imagined Elliott, replies that Pete has no more need to believe in him. Even Lampie begins to doubt that he saw a dragon. Undeterred, Pete helps Nora prepare the lighthouse for the storm.

Out at sea, a sailing ship is approaching Passamaquoddy, its captain assisted by Paul. Terminus lures Pete to the town's boathouse, while Hoagie does the same to Elliott. At the boathouse, the invisible Elliott discovers Pete, but is caught in an immense net. Elliott frees himself and saves Pete from the Gogans before they can escape. He incinerates their bill of sale (their only piece of evidence that shows that they own Pete), then douses them all with a barrel of tar before chasing them off. As Pete and Elliott celebrate, Terminus aims a harpoon gun at the distracted dragon, but the harpoon's rope is looped around his ankle and he is sent flying through the ceiling. After rebuking Terminus and Hoagie, Elliott saves the mayor and other dignitaries from a falling utility pole, revealing himself to the grateful townsfolk. Back at the lighthouse, the lamp has been extinguished by a storm-driven wave. Elliott returns and tries to light the lamp with his own fire. As he is doing so, Nora finally sees that Elliott is real. After several failures, due to the damp wick and the fact that Elliott's esophagus is squeezed into the lighthouse steps, the light is finally ignited and the ship is saved.

The next morning the townsfolk praise Elliott for his help and Nora is reunited with Paul who, it turns out, was the sole survivor of a shipwreck at Cape Hatteras, but he suffered total amnesia due to his ordeal. Then, one day recently, his bed suddenly tipped over (courtesy of an invisible Elliott); Paul bumped his head and regained his memory. Sadly, now that Pete is safe and has a loving family of his own, Elliott reveals that he must move on to help another kid in trouble. Pete says his goodbyes to Elliott who happily flies off, with Pete happily reminding him that he must not scare people and that he is supposed to stay invisible while at the same time Pete, Lampie, Nora, and Paul watch and run after Elliott as he flies away.

Al Checco, Henry Slate, and Jack Collins appear in the film as local fishermen. Robert Easton plays a store proprietor in Passamaquoddy, and Roger Price is seen as a man with a visor. Robert Foulk plays an old sea captain. Ben Wrigley is the egg man and Joe Ross plays the cement man. Dinah Anne Rogers has an uncredited role as one of the townspeople, as does Dennis Stewart, who plays a fisherman, and Debbie Fresh is also uncredited as a "Child / Dancer / Singer".[3]

At the core of Pete's Dragon was an unpublished short story by Hollywood Golden Age writer Seton I. Miller and S.S. Field.[4] The Disney studio acquired the rights to the story in the 1950s with the intent of using it on the Disneyland anthology program. Instead, it was given the full feature film treatment by writer Malcolm Marmorstein, in what remains his biggest undertaking to date. The production was directed by British filmmaker Don Chaffey, who had helmed two smaller films for Disney in the early 1960s in between larger fantasy adventures (Jason and the Argonauts, One Million Years B.C.) for others. The animators of Pete's Dragon opted to make Elliott look more like an oriental, rather than occidental, dragon because oriental dragons are usually associated with good. The film is the first involving animation in which none of the Nine Old Men — Disney's original team of animators — were involved. One technique used in the movie involved compositing with a sodium screen, whereby up to three scenes might be composited together — for example, a live foreground, a live background, and an animated middle ground containing Elliott. Ken Anderson, who created Elliott, explained that he thought it would be appropriate to make Elliott "a little paunchy" and not always particularly graceful when it comes to flying.[6][7] Don Hahn, who was assistant director to Don Bluth on this film, gained some experience working with a combination of live-action and animation before later going on to work on Who Framed Roger Rabbit.[8]

The film was successful to some degree; in 1978, Pete's Dragon was ranked at seventeen on Variety's hit list.[9] Thomas J. Harris, in Children’s Live-Action Musical Films: A Critical Survey and Filmography, heavily criticizes the story as well as the compositing of the animated Elliott; he also found the "Mary Poppinsish ending" to be "thoroughly unmotivated", because Pete's life before meeting Elliott is never fleshed out.[10] In 2006, Elliott was ranked no. 5 on a top 10 list of movie dragons by Karl Heitmueller for MTV Movie News.[11]

Critic Leonard Maltin observed that Disney made several attempts to recreate the appeal and success of Mary Poppins (1964), and that Pete's Dragon didn't come close on that score. However, Maltin added that it might please children, and that "the animated title character is so endearing that it almost compensates for the live actors' tiresome mugging."[12]

In its original roadshow theatrical release, the film ran 134 minutes. Shortly after, the film was edited down to 121 minutes. The most notable change was an alternative version of the musical number "I Saw a Dragon". The version most watched today is different from the one that was seen in the premiere version.

When the film was re-released to theaters in March 1984, it was cut again from 121 minutes to 104 minutes. When re-issued on home video in December 1985, the film was restored considerably to 128 minutes. However, there have been VHS copies spotted on eBay with the 1980 packaging and a run time of 128 minutes.

This has been on my wishlist for a while and my wife and I decided to stop by and give it a try.I wish we would have come here so much sooner. The salads were exceptional (I had the salad with pesto and pine nuts - so good). Everything we had from appetizers o desserts was delicious. This is our new favorite go-to restaurant!

My second time back and, again, thoroughly enjoyed our meal. My wife ordered the “Bacon & Onion Dip― appetizer which was delicious and creamy without any flavors over-powering the other. I ordered their pub wings but was told they had a Buffalo style not on the menu. The skin was lightly crispy, meat tender and juicy, and a hot moist towel was provided to clean up.

Saving room for dessert, we split the “Fish and Chips.― I never thought I could get excited about this entrée but was amazed and the delicate coating and moist, tender Alaskan cod. Combined with their homemade tartar sauce, we each had three strips of fish each and a sufficient amount of their hand-cut fries…uh, I mean chips. (Fred: my only suggestion is you make them just a BIT crispier. They’ll still have that “potatoey taste― you and Stacy are after, trust me!) The dessert we decided on was the BEST Crème Brulee we have EVER had anywhere!! Incredibly light and creamy with a perfect thin crispy coating. Topped it all off with their delicious Cuban coffee. This place will be here a long time. You can tell the employees love their jobs and the patrons love their food. It seems that whatever we ordered would have been awesome - wonderful food! I had the Asian Hangover and also loved what I chose from the draft menu: Young's Double Chocolate Milk Stout (UK). Then there's the bartender, Mr. Miller, who knew EVERYTHING there was to know about the microbrews AND the food menu. Great service and it was very enjoyable.

Went with my young son and friends. Staff was friendly. The food was solid, pub style food. The steak salad (whatever its formal name is, I don't remember), the fish and chips and the lumpia were good. The fish and chips were generously proportioned, the fish was nicely done with a light batter. I was especially delighted by the lumpia shanghai, a Filipino eggrool (inspired by the owner's wife, I think.) It was fun and quirky that this item was included in a British style pub. The place was kid friendly with a whole sets of early reader and picture books available for kids to look at, and of course, crayons and thinks to color on the kid menus. For grown-ups there was a good selection of beer and for everyone, some yummy fresh-squeezed lemonades.

I would rate G&D 3 out of 5 stars. Although, I think they have the potential to get more. We went last night with my in-laws, and everything was superb except the entrée. The pretzel bread appetizer (while not what I imagined it to be) was very tasty. The homemade butter, which really isn’t any different than normal butter in taste, was a nice accompaniment. We also ordered the Bacon & Onion dip, I am a vegetarian so I didn’t try this, but the others gave it rave reviews and it was gone very quickly. My FIL loved his salmon and my MIL thought the Curry was just OK. Both my husband and I ordered the Caprese Toastie and were disappointed. The bread was very good, so was the pesto, but the cheese was not melted and there were too many tomatoes which made the bread on one side of my sandwich soggy. Gross! I would have liked to see the tomato in the middle of two slices of mozzarella to prevent this, I also would have liked if the ingredients were cooked inside the sandwich instead of... more >I would rate G&D 3 out of 5 stars.

I would have liked to see the tomato in the middle of two slices of mozzarella to prevent this, I also would have liked if the ingredients were cooked inside the sandwich instead of put on after toasting the bread. Maybe this is a British thing, but the soggy bread and cold cheese didn’t impress, I ended up eating it open face with just pesto and mozzarella. I also wasn’t impressed with the hand cut fries, they weren’t very flavorful and we all ended up salting ours. For dessert, we ordered a crème brulee which was good. I would like to go back and try the Mac & Cheese, as I’ve heard that is excellent, but I wouldn’t come back with company I’m trying to impress like the in-laws. I also would rate the value very good and the service as EXCELLENT!

Great service, 30 min wait went quick with a visit to their welcoming bar. Great selection of beer and super friendly bartender. The pretzel bread from new French bakery was tasty yet the homemade butter might as well been from a stick of butter, beyond bland. The Dragon burger was pure bliss.
