A child and their dog explore the woods. As they look around they think what it would be like if dragons were actually living there. There are strange footprints in the mud, there is mist coming from a cave that looks like dragons' breath and, hidden in the fallen leaves, could those be dragon eggs?
A wonderful, imaginative picture book to share with young readers with pictures that take their inspiration from medieval woodcuts of dragons and their glowing colours from stained glass windows.
Brian Moses had dreams, growing up, of becoming a musician. But it was Bob Dylan’s lyrics that fired his teenage imagination. Then he encountered the ‘Mersey Sound’ poets and he was hooked. Starting out as a teacher, he wrote poems for his pupils and their response encouraged him to become a full-blown, published poet.
Now, more than 200 books later – either as author or anthologist – he has sold over one million copies and has been labelled ‘one of Britain’s favourite children’s poets’ by the National Poetry Archive. Music, with its rhythm and repetition, informs much of his work and he performs poetry and percussion shows across the UK and abroad. Brian lives in a small Sussex village with his wife, Anne, and their black Labrador, Jess. He says that his best ideas come to him when he is ‘out walking the dog’.
