The Sad Tale of "Puff, The Magic Dragon" #puffthemagicdragon

​Honestly who can hear Peter, Paul and Mary sing this magical song without crying for poor faithful Puff and childhood left behind?  I can still see him waiting in that cave ...

​This is the version of the "Puff, The Magic Dragon" song that I remember best, a more comical rendition of the song.  But wait!  Isn't that a picture of "The Reluctant Dragon" on the cover!?!  Not Puff?

​~ Puff, The Magic Dragon ~

"Oh Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,
And frolicked in the autumn mist,
in a land called Honnah Lee ... 
​

 . . .  A dragon lives forever but not so little boys,
Painted wings and giant's rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more,
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave."

​Right!  It's The Reluctant Dragon - an absolutely fantastic Victorian story.  Disney did a lot of records with stories and songs that fit a theme and Puff was included along for the ride in this one.

They are not made to current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is usually a good thing! They tend to be higher quality, last longer and include more attention to detail than today's products. However, safety standards do change over time, items do deteriorate with age, and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product.
