Puff 'not about drugs'

Peter Yarrow, who found fame with 1960s folk music trio Peter, Paul and Mary, is hoping that revisiting his hit song Puff, the Magic Dragon will end the belief once and for all that the song was about drugs.

Yarrow, 69, who co-wrote the song with Leonard Lipton in 1959, last year produced a book adaptation of the song, which tells the story of an ageless dragon and his playmate Jackie who grows up, quits imaginary games and leaves Puff alone and sad.
