Elmer Elevator meets an old alley cat one night. Elmer takes the cat home. Though his mother makes him get rid of it, the cat is touched enough by his deed to return the favour.
The cat narrates Elmer about her last travel to a strange place, known as Wild Island. The island is populated by various beasts. No man dares to go to it for fear of what horrors may be in store. There the cat meets the most fascinating, and saddest inhabitant of the place – a baby dragon!
The baby dragon, once hurt his wing, and fell out of the sky. Thus he happened to land on the island.
Once the animals found him, instead of aiding the dragon, they decided to hold him prisoner. Shocked by this, Elmer decides to go and rescue the dragon.
My Father’s Dragon series is a trilogy. The first book, ‘My Father’s Dragon’ was written by Ruth Stiles Gannett.
