If you saw it on BBC Television's 'Jackanory', then this zany tale will need no introduction. If not, then ... the Gram Tam of Dusseldorf is looking for something new to do. He's already beaten inflation, reformed the trade Unions, built a new bus shelter, etc ... What else is there? Cracked it. A Wizard! Dusseldorf, like any self-respecting city, needs a wizard. Surely a big, clear advert in the local daily paper will bring a clutch of eager applicants. There wasn't exactly a stampede, but there was Mr Wilkes ... Great stuff, totally mad, but a marvellous read ... for mines to elevens.
