The Dragon Hunter's Handbook

More about the book

Born into grinding poverty, McIntosh was a few days old when he was given by his young mother to her parents to bring up. He had not heard of Christmas until he was seven and never celebrated his birthday until his late teens, but he could steal, kill and skin a sheep before he was 12 and snare anything that could be cooked in a pot. Leaving school at 13 he was determined to escape the constant struggle to survive.
