Oogleumph

OOGLEUMPH is a children's story, a fictional account of a journey long foretold by Zandorians, a civilisation of small, pear-shaped people enslaved by the evil tyrant, Draco, commander of the dreaded Zolans. Book One, Pug-Pin's Quest, is the first of two books and tells of Pug-Pin's epic attempts to find and save his father from the clutches of Draco before it's too late.

Ancient Zandorian legend predicted that after a long period of turmoil, strange beings would eventually come to their rescue, and that when that time came, not one king, but two would arrive in the direction of The Light to the Stairway of Kings. By cataclysmic accident, two young friends are transported from 1960s Lancashire to a time and place beyond their wildest imagination. On the way there, they form an indestructible bond with the Zandorians.

In their quest to help the Zandorians, the boys encounter the Muppin, a society of creatures who live, think and move as a single entity. Long believed to be little more than creatures of myth, the Muppin prove an invaluable aid in their ensuing confrontations with the Zolans.
