Bookroo's summary
A griffin becomes enamored with its own sculpture and the Minor Canon, unsettling a town that fears the creature's permanent stay. Can the Minor Canon navigate this mythical bond and quell the townspeople's fears?
From the publisher
When a griffin shows great fondness for the sculpture of himself above the great door of the church, and equal admiration for the Minor Canon, the townspeople fear that the terrifying creature will live among them forever.
