This was one of the last stories Sutcliff wrote before her death, and it was the last published.

As with *Chess Dream in a Garden*, it moves away from historical fiction into fantasy. This is a story about a minstrel who finds and rears a baby dragon. They are separated, and then reunited. It is very gentle – with some digs at knights on white horses who feel compelled to pick fights with dragons.

The illustrations are watercolours, which suits the softness of the story.
