'' Puff, the Magic Dragon'' is a song written by Leonard Lipton and Peter Yarrow and made popular by the group Peter, Paul and Mary. 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). 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. I was always partial to friendly or at least non-beastly dragons and thus enjoyed my late-in-life encounter with Puff.
