THE DRAGON & THE HUMMINGBIRD
‘My Dinner with Andre’ for the 21st Century
A note from Gramskii:
At first glance, this might look like just another children's book about a dragon.
But appearances can be deceptive.
It's actually a grown-up thought-provoking satire about climate change, capitalism and what we might actually do about it.
Don't worry, I won't expect you to start eating tofu or growing root vegetables.
Thjis is a book for everyone - and especally people who don't read books about politics.
Think of it as a free-to-download act of resistance
- against the seemingly unstoppable advance of free-market economics
- and the Tech-Bros who seem determined to take over our lives.
I think you'll enjoy the ride.
FORTUNATELY, GEORGE IS MARRIED TO ALICE
And Alice is not about to take any crap from a psychopathic dragon.
BUT WAIT, WHO'S THIS?
It's George - our unlikely hero.
His job is to make sure we don’t ask too many questions...
…questions like "Why are we all choking on his noxious farts?"
ALICE EXPLAINS HOW THE DRAGON HAS BEEN GASLIGHTING US
For at least a couple of centuries - promising us the earth, but really just taking everything for himself...
AND EVENTUALLY, AFTER A LOT OF ADVENTURES ALICE AND GEORGE FINALLY CONFRONT THE DRAGON - And the spell is broken... ... and the Dragon is never seen again.
THIS IS DRAGON - He's been around for 250 years lording it over us like he owns the place...
And he's the one producing all the poisonous fumes...
Still think this is a kid's story... ?
Don't take my word for it.

'THOUGH SOME SAY HE NOW LIVES ON MARS TO MARS...
...counting his money. Sad really.
Oh well.
This project is not-for-profit
No Amazon. No advertising budget.
Just a free book, a shitty dragon,
and the hope that enough of us hummingbirds
can make a difference.
We are many. They are few.
The paperback — best enjoyed with a nice cup of tea.
