`Douglas the Dragon' symbolises `the power of love.' A young orphaned dragon is found and adopted by a young boy and becomes a much-loved dragon in the village. When the boy is killed by a volcano, the dragon is eventually evicted from the community. The dragon spends 50 years in exile sitting upon his volcano of hate and getting angrier and angrier- until his anger explodes and he seeks revenge.
Old age and death are stages in a person's life that all children find difficult concepts to understand, but this is eased considerably when `death' is associated with the concept of `rebirth.' At a time of separation, bereavement or loss, children become more isolated, non-communicative and vulnerable. Allow Douglas to help them `live again' through his own experiences of illness and near death.
