Oscar and the Magi

"Oscar and the Magi" is the story of a small boy who is sent a textbook for student wizards as a birthday present and who, as a result, finds himself caught up in a secret London, where a magical police force hunts evil spirits unseen among the Christmas shoppers and a desperate band of wizards dream of rebellion and freedom... ...and that's just the first four chapters... It's a rip-roaring pulp adventure (I hope), full of magic, sword fights, terrifying monsters, extraordinary visions, rebellion, oppression, dragons, steam trains, rooftop chases, enchanted tea sets and a blink and you'll miss appearance from the Prime Minister. Now I wish I'd mentioned the kitchen sink somewhere in it so I could complete that list properly.
 
This online version is divided up into the chapters but also comes with a handy printout format, if you follow the print link below. There are also two downloads attached, one a .pdf file, the other a plain text file, if you'd like to download either of them.
 
You can also read it online at Scribd (http://www.scribd.com/doc/2516647/Oscar-and-the-Magi) where you can also download a pdf.
 
You can even buy a copy through Lulu (http://www.lulu.com/content/1198864) or, if you prefer, through Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Oscar-Magi-Tobias-Sturt/dp/B002AD32TQ/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpi_1) - although I feel I ought to point out that both those options include a (very) small royalty for me.
