The Magician in the Attic

the first of the Curlew Chronicles

For his fourteenth birthday Alexander Roebuck is delighted by the gift of a course of magic lessons. As they begin, the teacher reveals magic far beyond anything he dreamed possible. We join Alex on his quest as he uncovers the closely guarded arts of magic and the greatest mysteries of all: Who is this remarkable magician? Why has he chosen to give Alex the most extraordinary secrets of magic? What is he hiding about his shrouded past? The answers await as we follow Alex into the real world of illusion to meet its elusive keymaster…
