A very tall tale indeed, and a delightful one involving shrinking powder which really works on people, as well as on a flame-throwing dragon afraid of tiny humans.

The first night of Francis's visit, he awoke to find the dragon asleep at the foot of his bed -- what a tail! Highly recommended to appease all readers searching for something truly magical.
