This is a story about magic, if you like that kind of thing.
It is also a story about a ghost with amnesia, an unpopular fairy, an ungrateful town, and a wise and helpful raven (who happens to be a pretty good storyteller). But mostly, it is about a friendly little wizard who lives inside a big hill and really, really, really wants to be a hero.
His name is Gumluck, and he is a bumbling noodlehead.
