This is a very well-written and humorous series about a man who finds himself, through no fault of his own in an alternate version of mideval England, in which there are dragons and magicians... and to his dismay, he becomes both!

Dragon Nimbus, Dragon Nimbus History, and The Stargods by Irene Radford
I have always been drawn to books that describe tales of people searching to regain knowledge that has been long lost. This is a very well-written series of books. Dragon Nimbus is a story about how the dissappearance of dragons from a nation dependant on them prompts such a search. Dragon Nimbus History describes the many events that led to Dragon Nimbus, and The Stargods provides a very interesting twist to the story.

Dragon's PawnJarl had gotten his riddle from a kindly, grandmotherly sort of which. But friendly or not, she'd told him pretty firmly he had to solve it if he was to become a hero who could fight off evil and find his way home to earth. She didn't warn him, however, that this very riddle would also lead him into the most bizzare adventures imaginable - and that he would soon find himself contending with ogres, bandits, talking trees, and the dark minions of the Shadowlord himself...

This widely popular, huge, and ongoing series of books is required reading for anyone even mildly interested in dragons, or the fantasy genre in general!
