Fisherman and Old Cloot: Dragon Fairy Tales, #1

By D.C. Harrell

A double dragon dare. A brother's worst nightmare.

Fisherman's sons are starving. To distract them, the neighbor terrifies them with clootie stories. 

Then one night, Fisherman's net snags Old Cloot himself and in the morning, the boys taunt each other into filling their bellies with monster-meat. Are they satisfied? 

With the first of the stand-alone Dragon Fairy Tales, D.C. Harrell hooks you on raw dragon and reels you in fast, but don't read this one to your little sister. Old Cloot swims too deep for the kiddie pool. 

If you like your monster meat salted with true grit, this is the Scottish myth for you.

Many centuries ago, a fisherman lived with his three sons on the strand of a deep lake. He could not see the opposite side across its width, and a day was too short to travel its length, even when wind filled
