Book blurb
When Winston the Bear reads a story about a fiery dragon that once terrorised the town where he lives, he wonders if the tale could be true. Curious, he sets out to investigate if there is any proof that the dragon existed and if it could still be hiding somewhere nearby, undiscovered.
​
Will Winston find what he is looking for, or is it just a very tall tale?
