Paint Your Dragon
The book is based on the St George vs the Dragon.
The back of the book says:

The cosmic battle between Good and Evil ... But suppose Evil threw the fight? And suppose Good cheated?
Sculptress Bianca Wilson is a living legend. St George is also a legend, but not quite so living.
However, when Bianca's sculpture of the patron saint and his scaly chum gets a bit too 'life-like', it opens up a whole new can of wyrms ...
The Dragon knows that Evil got a raw deal and is looking to set the record straight.
And George (who cheated) thinks the record's just fine as it is.
Luckily for George, there's a coach-load of demons on an expenses-paid holiday from Hell who are only too happy to help him.
Because a holiday from hell is exactly what they're about to get.

Quote from Here Comes the Sun
The girl curtseyed again and danced off down the hill, leaving Bjorn alone at last with the trees, the birds, the squirrels and his ingrowing toenail. For a while he stood and looked aimlessy about him, until his eye lit on one tree that he recognized. It was a tall, ancient oak and he remembered it well; he had climbed it as a boy, and his grandfather had often lifted him up into its branches, pointing out to him all the marvellous things he could see. How wonderful it is, his grandfather used to say, to sit in a high tree and look out over all kingdoms of the world, as if one were God's own eyes!
Bjorn braced his feet, grinned, and set about cutting it down.

(Tom Holt, "Here Comes the Sun")
