Under Sir Wyvern's tutelage, children learn to courageously face the fears, temptations, and inevitable obstacles that confront them in this Land of Dragons. Through Pugilist's urgent voice (both serious and humorous), we hear Joyce Denham's own concern for today's children and the problems with which they wrestle.
