Yes
the book is. Sorry for basing my game on such an
obscure subject, but I didn't thing anyone would be that
interested! You might find a second-hand copy in your local
'pagan' book shop.
It's a fabulous book, because
it deals with someone who has a totally
unconventional view of life, and whether you agree with that
view or not, it shows that you should never fear
having your beliefs ridiculed.
Jon Downes wrote
an excellent book on the same subject called 'The
Owlman and Others' which is in print, AFAIK, and
available from Domra Publications.
In fact, Jon
Downes actually produced a film version of the book
(*very* loosely based on the facts) - check out the
website:

but careful...female nudity!
Now if I can just
get around to starting my next game.
Stuart.
