Set in 1960s Italy, on the dusty lanes between the cypresses of Tuscany, a friendship is growing between a young boy and a dragonfly.
The dragonfly has had a bad name over the centuries and Dewey is longing for a friend.
As the cypresses cast their long golden shadows the dragonfly knew that Dewey was sound asleep.

Interwoven into the story are stunningly beautiful illustrations each one worthy of being framed and mounted on a wall.
