Wanderers and Islanders

Steve Cockayne

This story is set in an imaginary land where an old man, a young boy and a magician find that their separate paths constantly intertwine. I was entranced by this make-believe world; it's so believable and full of engaging, empathetic characters - I couldn't put it down.

Extract
The magician's robe with its gold-and-scarlet emblem billowed out around him, and the heavy tread of his stout boots warned bystanders to stand well clear of his path .... Finally he halted at a heavy oak door that bore the following legend: 'THEATRE OF MAGIC: LEONARDO PEGASUS CHIEF MAGICIAN TO THE KING'
