About This Quote

A dragon is an animal with wings, like the dragons in the Harry Potter stories. The "workman" is Tolkien, who was writing The Hobbit when he sat in this bar. He said he had seen dragons himself! That is pretty cool to hear. There are many types of dragons, including fire-breathing dragons.
