The Dragon Of Shiny Town
Mike has teamed-up with published poet Ruth Gillett to write this modern fairy tale.
It is a cautionary story supporting the environmental message of recycling and re-using as opposed to the quick-fix measure of incineration. The narrative is a brilliant piece of rhyming story-telling by Ruth:
"The men looked at each other - now, what were they going to say?
The rubbish dump was awful and it did get in the way.
But where else could they put it? This really was too tough.
All the dumps were full and, really, 10 dumps was enough! "
An 80-second extract from the piece can be heard by clicking on '1. The Dragon' in the player below.
