Description
Our so-called 'hero' Oily Gasbag is a large, clumsy, rather daft goblin with a firm belief that he is handsome and that all the young pretty faeries and elves are in awe of him. They ain't!
Very few females like him, apart from one: a youngish witch who hails from Vienna whose name is Frieda Hasbug. Her sniffy older sister, Hattie has little time for Oily; she has little time for anyone. Nevertheless, she agrees to help her sister conjure up a dark magic potion that will turn Oily's dancing skills from that of a deranged hippopotamus into a champion ballroom performer.
It all begins at the local fair in Smelly Welly, Nonsenseshire. He barges into a group of dancing faeries and elves and tries to dance with the beautiful elf, Su Fa Su Gut who pushes him away. When he is thrown out of the fair, he decides to learn to dance but unfortunately for him, the schools he tries do not want him! Luckily Frieda has a plan, a dancing contest where they will enter as a couple.
Will they prove everyone wrong and win? Or is Oily destined to have two left feet forever?
About the Author
Victor has always been fascinated by magical creatures and began writing short stories at school. Many years later he wrote his first book - The Pentacle of Northumbria; where two young teens are transported to a parallel world of Celtic magic and have to choose sides. The Oily Gasbag series is also magical but in a much lighter vein.
