Summoned forth from the imagination of a Scotsman name Adam Smith 250 years ago.
The dragon hatched in a beautiful spot in the English midlands, now called 'The Black Country'' because it's now covered it with toxic soot.
And since then he has enslaved us.
Fortunately for us, George is married to Alice and Alice is not about to take any shit...
... or allow a deranged dragon destroy the planet.
George is the middle-manager who works for the Dragon.
George ensures the Dragon's employees stay loyal to him and don't ask too many questions...
... such as why is it getting so hot?
This isn't too difficult, because George doesn't question anything himself.
... after which it was never seen again.
(Some say he built a rocket ship and escaped to Mars?)
After many adventures, in which Alice makes George see the truth...
...they confront the dragon...
After which the dragon can no longer control them...
... loses its power
... and becomes a myth we could barely believe ever existed...
What if the world were ruled by an all-powerful dragon?
This might seem just a children's story... but don't be so sure....
There's more here than meets the eye.
Which you'll only understand by read all 317 pages.
And change the way you see things.

"A comic satire that gently unpicks the absurdity of capitalism and points to a better future for us all."
“The Dragon & the Hummingbird is an urgently relevant book about climate change but not as you may have read about it before.
This book blends satirical fiction with a wide range of accessible ideas from philosophy, politics, history and science to make the case for individual and collective action in the face of corporate greed that is causing environmental catastrophe.”
