Description: The Schoolboy's Dragon by Dig, Grace Linnell Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The last two adult dragons on the planet live in seclusion as they wait for their only child to grow mature enough and strong enough to ride the solar winds out of this galaxy but for the young dragon it is a lonely existence. With none of his own kind to play with he can only look on longingly at the village children as they play in the fields below his refuge until one day fate takes a hand. Companionship comes in the form of five scruffy schoolboys. Blessed with the combined intellect of a dead ant and as much sense of responsibility as a cloud the five boys take the young dragon on a hilarious series of misadventures as the six friends become inseparable. When danger threatens it is the boys who mobilise to defend their new found friend and his parents and when forces of evil beyond their comprehension strike at their idyllic new life it is the boys, armed with nothing more than a sense of humour and a total belief in themselves and a few, new, magical acquaintances, which rise to the task of opposing the growing nightmare. Would you walk into hell for a friend? Author Biography Dig was born in Trollheim in 1873, the unfortunate result of the unrequited love between a short sighted troll and a large boulder. After many years as an uninspiring student, during which many teachers mistook him for a fungal infection of the radiators he eventually left school in 1936. (If you ever find yourself described as an uninspiring student, please do not take it to heart. Einstein was described in the same manner by his university tutor and never forget William Shakespeare had appalling hand writing and its worth remembering that the majority of left handed Japanese jellyfish are blind. But I digress.) Following a lamentable season playing for Pressed-on-Bothends Football Club during which he demonstrated a truly breath-taking inability to control the ball linked to a match winning skill for falling on opposing players, he returned to education. He obtained a First Class Law Degree with Honours by the time honoured expedient of prevaricating over the answer to any question for so long that the examiner expired of old age (the so called Bleak House technique)and was consequently awarded a degree by default. Following the execution of his first client for riding a bicycle without a red light clearly displayed at the back, Dig decided that possibly Law was not his forte and has since made his living by begging in the street or hiring himself out as a garden ornament. He has three children, Pauliepolipulus, a successful banker and part time semi-conductor, Toe, an aspiring tourist attraction of no fixed abode, and his daughter Erin Lucy Binbag the first, and up to now, the only green skinned model to appear on the cover of vogue. His late wife, Odour Niff, passed away as the result of an ill-advised drunken brawl with a steam roller and her remains were scattered over the A1/M1 London to Newcastle road as chippings. He visits her frequently, usually when driving to Sunderland on business.
