A magical tale from a wonderful storyteller. This lovely book tells of a baby dragon who isn't fearsome, cruel or violent because he's only met friendship and kindness in his short life. 'Lost' by his mother when he fell out of the nest (she couldn't count and didn't know he'd gone) he hatches to the music of a poor, wandering minstrel and they travel together quite happily until he and his best friend become separated. Yes, of course, there's a happy ending-a deft and gentle reminder of how we should all treat each other.
