A Sidekick Advent Calendar: Day 11

Christmas being a time for magic, we thought we'd share an extract from one of our first micro-anthologies, way back in 2009. Pocket Spellbook was Dr Fulminare's attempt to travel light, while retaining all of his important charms, curses and rants.

Here, we present a fireside extract to warm your cockles. Enjoy John Clegg's 'Spell For A Furnace' and the stunning illustrations of Saroj Patel.
