About this book

When a mighty griffin comes to see a stone statue of himself, the townspeople panic and prepare for disaster. Only the gentle Minor Canon has the courage to greet the fearsome creature. To everyone’s surprise, the griffin is not really the monster they imagined… This is a charming and thoughtful tale about fear, friendship and the courage to look beyond appearances. Blending whimsy and quiet wisdom, it reveals how compassion can bridge even the widest gap between two very different beings.
