According to BBC News, the baby "dragon" allegedly found preserved in a jar in an Oxfordshire garage two months ago was a hoax conceived by would-be author Allistair Mitchell, who was having difficulties finding a publisher for his fantasy novel about dragons. The good news: it worked. The bad news: it worked. In a self-described "refreshing approach to book publishing," Waterstone's has announced it will publish Mitchell's book (written under the pen name P.R. Moredun), "Unearthly History." Stay tuned for a ground swell of authorial hoaxing.
