The Curse of the Dragon Case In the world of myth and legend, the curse of the dragon case stands as a cautionary tale of greed, betrayal, and avarice. The story begins in a time long ago, where dragons roamed the land and held immeasurable power. It is said that the dragons possessed a magical case that held untold treasures and ancient knowledge. The dragon case was believed to be guarded by a fearsome dragon named Drakonis, whose scales were as hard as steel and whose breath could scorch the earth. Many sought to possess the dragon case, believing that it held the key to immortality, infinite wealth, and ultimate power. One fateful day, a group of adventurers set out on a treacherous journey to find the dragon case.

Puff, the Magic Dragon is simply one of the most beloved songs of all time—a classic that’s become as much a part of the childhood experience as Mother Goose and fairy tales. Yet singer/songwriter Peter Yarrow and co-composer Lenny Lipton have never allowed a picture book adaptation of this magical tale…until now. With Yarrow’s and Lipton’s blessing, Puff, Jackie Paper, and the land of Honalee finally live on the page. The exquisite package includes a cloth case with a tipped-in illustration and an embossed jacket with foil touches, as well as an exclusive CD featuring not only Puff, but several other songs performed by Yarrow, his daughter Bethany, and cellist Rufus Cappadocia. This is a publishing event sure to attract broad attention and please Puff’s many fans.
In richly-hued paintings of the deepest sea blues and greens, Puff and his friend Jackie Paper frolic in the land of Honalee—traveling in a fantastic boat with billowed sails, climbing red castle stairs onto a balcony to meet with noble kings and princes, and watching pirate ships lower their flags for the roaring dragon. Artist Eric Puybaret has brought an entire magical world into being with enthralling landscapes, color, and characters. And everyone will love the way the art cleverly turns the song’s end, which at first seemed so sad, into a surprising and joyful moment.
Best of all—this is only the first of many more collaborations with Peter Yarrow to come!
As they finally reached the lair of Drakonis, the adventurers discovered that the dragon was not the only danger they faced. The dragon case itself was cursed, its power a double-edged sword. Once opened, the curse would be unleashed, bringing annihilation and ruin to anyone who dared to possess its power. Undeterred by the warnings, the adventurers engaged in a fierce battle with Drakonis. Through cunning tactics and sheer willpower, they managed to defeat the mighty dragon and claim the dragon case as their own. Little did they know that their victory would mark the beginning of their downfall. As soon as the dragon case was opened, a sinister force swept over the land, enveloping everything in darkness. The adventurers soon realized that the curse had been released, and its effects were devastating. One by one, the members of the group were consumed by the curse, their bodies wracked with pain and their minds twisted with madness. In the end, only one survivor remained. Cursed with immortality and a shattered soul, this lone adventurer roamed the land, forever tormented by the curse of the dragon case. The once sought-after source of power had become a vile prison, trapping its possessor in a perpetual state of anguish and torment. The tale of the curse of the dragon case serves as a reminder of the perils of unchecked ambition and the dangers of seeking power for power's sake. It teaches us that true power lies not in material possessions or immortality but in the strength of our character and the choices we make. Let this cautionary tale be a warning to all who dare to seek the dragon case and the power it promises. For the price of ultimate power is a heavy burden to bear, and the curse it brings may be too great a cost to pay..
