The Dragon & the Hummingbird
A satirical fable about climate change
What if capitalism is just a spell we're all under? Through the story of a dragon addicted to power and a hummingbird trying to put out a forest fire, this book asks: Can we wake up before it's too late? Part fairy tale, part economic history, part urgent call to action.

About the Book
The Dragon & the Hummingbird is a satire about capitalism, climate change and what we can do about it. (It might surprise you) I've tried to make it entertaining because no-one needs another doom-scroll. I'm not pretending it's a great work of literature, but people seem to like it. (Yep, those Reader Reviews are genuine.) And no, I didn't write it to get rich, which is just as well.
I spent 30 years in advertising, persuading people I didn't know to spend money they didn't have on things they didn't need. Eventually though, I had to admit this wasn't a great business model for anyone wanting to live on a sustainable planet. So I wrote a book about it. Consider it community service.
