Eddy arrives from Wigan to spend the long summer holidays with his Grandmother in Port St Mary. He quickly makes friends with Donal a local boy of around the same age.Almost immediately strange things start to happen to Eddy, and it is only when he finds his mother's old school books that he realises that his Mum left the island in a hurry before he was born. She should have gone to Music college she was an excellent flautist, but she gave it all up to work in the canteen of a Wigan coal mine. It is a mystery how Eddy is rescued from a storm, someone is helping Sally with the farm work, and who are those strange people dancing on the hillside outside of his window. When Eddy finds a strange silver musical instrument, he wonders if he should dare to try and play it. The Isle of Man is full of strange magical creatures. Eddy slowly starts to realise that he is one of them too.The Drinking Dragon is a strange forgotten place close to the Calf of Man, it is seldom visited by anyone, which is probably just as well
