Wizard's Woe

by N/A

Synopsis

Writer and journalist August Autrey arrives in the village of Three Weirs to cover the story of the Forest of Weir, which the villagers have long believed to be the home of a wizard and a dangerous dragon. When August disappears leaving only his empty clothes draped over the seat of a chair, many believe he has paid the price for being too curious. His landlady's niece, Ann Singlewood, dreams that she meets the missing journalist living in the forest as a nine-inch-high elfin wizard. Two weeks later, however, August returns and spends three days furiously typing a long manuscript, which he addresses to Ann. The next morning he is found dead. As Ann reads the manuscript she realizes that the magical world she dreamed of is actually real - and that August is in love with her! But if she is to join him there, it would mean giving up everything...

Author Bio
Osbert Norman-Walter, writer, playwright, journalist, and Astrological Consultant 'Seginus' of the News of the World (1937-39) conceived Wizard's Woe, in his twenties around 80 years ago but could find no publisher. On his death in 1974, his daughter Marion Athorne inherited an unfinished trilogy. Married with three children, ten grandchildren and one great grandchild, Marion has only recently had the necessary time to commit to working on a manuscript that comprised more than a million words. She enrolled with the Writers Bureau early in 2004, and studied the new writing techniques. The result? The publication of two articles and a win in a short story competition, which helped with giving her confidence to author the revised, edited, and abridged version of a now complete trilogy that is 'Merlyn's Legacy'. She sincerely hopes that Book One, 'Wizard's Woe' will achieve the wider readership that her father's inspiration deserved.
