The Story of Egmo is a popular ebook and audiobook by Ben Cormack originally available in late 2006. In early 2007 the London Library Development Agency promoted the book, which was made available for free download, as part of its first literacy campaign targeted at children and young adults. The book received over 25,000 downloads within the first year and achieved national recognition from The Independent, N.U.T. magazine and Viz.

The protagonist, 'Egmo' is an ill-fated anti hero whose many eccentricities put him firmly out of step with the world and everyone in it. When he unearths the global domination plans of local would-be-criminal-mastermind Krapodkin he sets out on a fantastical mission to restore relative normality.

Ben Cormack’s previous books include ‘Cartoon Clinic’ and ‘Anatomy for Fantasy Artists’ which have collectively sold over 200,000 copies and have been translated into more than 10 languages.
