Bogamus the Troll

By Nathan A Jones

'Waaaarrrrrrrraaaaaaarrrrrrrraaaaaaggggghhhhhhh!’

Bogamus was having a bad day. The three billy goats Gruff had sneaked, tricked and finally buffeted him off his bridge. Now he was flying through the air, arms flailing and screaming. His bridge, the river under it and the valley it ran through were all getting smaller and smaller beneath him.

But a prang from a billy goat's horn was not the end for Bogamus, who found himself floating along the river. Why not follow Bogamus as he travels along the river and has adventures with heroic knights (well ... fairly heroic), terrifying giants, (un)distressed damsels, beautiful princesses, dainty fairies and wicked enchanters. A journey that will eventually lead him to the real world where he makes new friends and faces new challenges.

Bogamus the Troll is a funny, silly yet charming story about an unfortunate but likeable troll for children aged 7 to 12. The story is split into ten short chapters each of which can be read in about thirty minutes.

I'm Nathan, the creator of the Bogamus and Friends stories. I live in East London and work for a pensions IT consultancy and write in my spare time. When work and writing aren't keeping me busy I enjoy church bell ringing. While I am not quite as tall as Bogamus, some people have pointed out similarities between us.
