Puff lives by the sea in the magic land of Honalee and is a companion of a boy called Jackie Paper. I was always partial to friendly or at least non-beastly dragons and thus enjoyed my late-in-life encounter with Puff. It's a gentle, sweet but not saccharine folky tune with lyrics about fantasy lands, imaginary friends and growing up that somehow embodies the 60's spirit very well. The new version one the CD accompanying this book features Peter's daughter Bethany (there is also an instrumental and two other tunes in similar vein). Puff, the Magic Dragon is a song written by Leonard Lipton and Peter Yarrow and made popular by the group Peter, Paul and Mary. Summary: The 60's sweet fairy-tale tune is brought to life with lovely artwork and a new musical version on a CD that also contains 3 other tunes featuring the original band with their offspring.
