    About this ebook

    London, 1921. An archaeological find from the steppes of Central Asia is sought by the shadowy Thule Society to further their nefarious purposes. But can an absent-minded professor and his rather more competent assistants save the day? A period urban fantasy about the magical wonders of the world, and the first in a series of short stories that delves into the mysteries of the Voynich Manuscript, the Thule Society, and magical artifacts from across the globe. One must always be prepared for the unexpected when working for the British Museum's Division of Curious Devices and Remarkable Artifacts!

      I’ve always loved salmon. Not to eat, as I don’t eat fish, but I’ve always loved salmon in general because salmon jump and no one knows why. They jump all over the place—out of rivers, up waterfalls. Some say they jump to clean their gills. Others sa
