The Best-Kept Secret
Dragons don't often eat Lancashire folk.
They try now and then, but the clothes make them choke.
It may be the wellies, the flat caps or coats,
The wet-weather gear gets stuck fast in their throats.
A constant plume of smoke in the skies above the Ribble Valley is fuelling rumours that a local factory is the lair of a legendary fire-breathing beast - an ancient dragon, born of magic over four hundred years ago; when King James 1st ruled the land and the Lancashire witches ruled the air…
Author Sophie Stewart has brought one of the most intriguing periods of history to life with a humorous tale of sorcery and unconditional love. Sophie’s imagination and wry sense of fun are contagious to all who allow their imaginations to soar.
Beautifully designed and with fantastical illustrations by Eli John, this book is suitable for children (aged 7 up) and adults alike.
A magical children’s book set in and around The Ribble Valley and inspired by the Pendle Witches, folklore and legend.
40 page softback book with 16 full-page colour illustrations, printed on premuim silk coated paper.
