Peter Yarrow is best known as a singer and songwriter, especially as a member of the folk group Peter, Paul and Mary. He believes that music from the folk tradition can bring people together in special ways that reveal how much we truly have in common with one another - and that we can be friends, despite our differences. Lenny Lipton, now a well-known independent filmmaker, wrote the poem which became Puff, the Magic Dragon whilst at university. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and family. Eric Puybaret has published more than twenty books in his native France, and is best known in the UK for his illustrations in Puff, the Magic Dragon. His dreamy, peaceful artwork of The Night Before Christmas conveys all the charm and wonder of the much-loved poem.
