The Matchbox Dragon

By A.J. Webb

You are not a newt are you? Ive not seen one with wings before said Alex. The little creature opened one of his wings and blew over it trying to disperse some of the droplets of water remaining on its greeny black finely scaled skin.

This first encounter was the start of a magical adventure that by pure chance happened to just an ordinary boy and his family.

A.J. Webb

Born November 1950 in Guildford Surrey England. I had a very happy childhood indeed. I think I daydreamed through most of my schooling and happily left school at 15 yrs old with no qualifications at all. Generally I ploughed through life as most of us do with all the ups and downs that that entails. I now have five children and at the last count three grandchildren. Somehow by accident along the way I discovered my love for poetry and the written word and now enjoy writing with a passion. This is equalled only by my love of nature and all things mechanical. So I hope you enjoy this little adventure and to be sure Dolphis, Alex, Tom, Mia and of course Grandad are looking forward to sharing more of their adventures with you in the future.
