Rory is afraid of winter's darkness. He thinks that monsters and demons might creep out from the shadows. So Rory makes a Winter Dragon of emerald green, with a crest of brilliant red. Each night the dragon comes alive to tell stories of knights and battles, of elf-kings and treasure-hoards and through his dreamtime adventures, Rory grows brave. But as spring approaches, the Winter Dragon dreams of returning to his fiery home. AUTHOR: Caroline Pitcher is an award-winning author who celebrates through writing, like living life twice.
