Ollie

About the Book

Ollie is the story about a dragon who started life in 2007 and who was brought up in an English home in Enfield. Not quite the place you would expect to find a dragon, but he landed on my doorstep in a rather bedraggled state on a very bleak day. We formed a bond, which is still strong. He has had many adventures of which these are just a few. I hope you get as much pleasure from reading about Ollie as I have had in writing about him.

About the Author

I was born in North London in 1940 just after war broke out. So far it has been a rather adventurous and full life. Along the way, I have had four children, and I now have five grandchildren. Being able to write poetry has always been part of that life. It has given me a lot of pleasure, and I have written many poems, although most of which have been lost or discarded along the way, but some stay close, as with Ollie. I would like to say a big thank you for all the help I have received: to Alan Scarlett, to little Henry whose mum allowed me to use his name for one of my characters. To all those who have read and re-read my early attempts, especially Charlee, Baylee, Georgia, Harry, and Jessica, my grandchildren, who have added their thoughts and comments and to whom this little book is dedicated.
