What are the Botolf Chronicles?
How
long is a piece of string? If one end is
tied to your toe and the other to a wild rampaging bull you’d hope it was very
long indeed.
Such is the manner of philosophical quandary posed
by the staff of Botolf-almost-Oxford, the fabled college at the centre of Steve
Downes’ comic-fantasy books. The Botolf
Chronicles catalogue the series of bizarre (and quite frankly ridiculous but
funny) events surrounding two twin brothers James and Philip Philips, two
hapless men adrift in a sea of monsters, myth, mayhem and mad postmen.
The Chronicles follow James and Philip as they
struggle across several worlds and dimensions and largely fail to comprehend the
vastness of the magical multi-verse in which they exist alongside dragons,
wizards, hobgoblins and small children (but no vampires).
The Chronicles are three books: Cosmogonic Marbles
… Tribal Warfare in Hemel Hampstead …
(and the other book!)
Written to be read and enjoyed, so read and enjoy.
