About the Book
In a cave high up on a mountain lives a very wealthy dragon with large piles of gold and jewelry. But, he is sad because he has no one to share the beauty of his riches with.
At the bottom of the mountain is a poor, tiny village, full of villagers who are always tired and hungry. Among them is a boy named Olyn, who asks his father one day why there isn’t enough food to eat. His father explains that the dragon stole all of the village’s gold and jewels so they didn’t have enough money to buy the things that they needed. Olyn decides to take a journey up the mountain to ask the dragon why he did such a thing. Although he is weak, tired, and frightened, Olyn is determined to learn the dragon’s reason for doing what he did. What he discovers on this magical journey instead is something far greater than he imagined, a new friend.
