I Wish More People Would Write About Dragons

I wish more people would write about dragons. I hear of them so little that I'm almost lead to think that they don't exist. But that's nonsense.

Edith Nesbit writes wonderful stories. She wrote "The Book of Dragons," which is full of dragon stories and the children who choose to believe them.

There was this one story by Edith Nesbit that I remember my mom reading to me when I was a kid. My mom is one of those wonderful mothers who insists that I have a library card. To this day, I'd rather have a library card than my drivers license. I suppose you can blame her for my bookishness.

Anyhow, the story was called "The Deliverers of Their Country" and it was about a plague of dragons on a small town. Little Effie and Henry must find a way to rid their hometown of dragons large enough to carry off elephants! The world imposes great things on children.

I can't truly say whether the world is better or worse off with dragons.I suppose it would depend on their temperament. Then again, I guess the same goes for people too.

This is Alton. He would like to assure you that he is very much alive.

However, he would rather not disclose his exact location due to a mis-
understanding with the Polish government.
Should you wish to contact him or send him chocolates, drop your letter or confection box in the nearest volcano. It will get to him eventually.
