Book Description

Publication Date: 15 Sep 2005 | Series: Ology Series
Aspiring wizards can tune in to the age-old wisdom of Merlin with this dazzling compendium of all things magical — unveiling novelty elements throughout.


For any apprentice determined to learn the arcane arts of wizardry, could there be a better teacher than . . . Merlin himself? Originally discovered in 1588, this remarkable text by history's most respected wizard is revealed to the world for the very first time. Lavishly illustrated by four delicate artists, WIZARDOLOGY's intricate design even conceals a series of hidden symbols that spell out a secret message when their code is deciphered — if the reader is clever enough to find them.

Among WIZARDOLOGY's special features are:

-a glittering crystal ball-like jewel on the front cover
- a world map showing locations of wizards around the globe
- tactile samples of a "fairy flag" with one wish remaining and a phoenix feather to aid in flying charms
- booklets explaining the proper use of spells, familiars, and potions
- a removable dragon pendant allowing the user to dowse for mythical beasts
- a pack of eight removable fortune-tellling cards
- a 48-page mini book of divination on the final spread

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic fun 28 Oct 2007
By kermit
Format:Hardcover
Full of pictures and puzzles. Great for imaginative young minds. The format of these books is really touchy-feely and I think it helps bridge the gap between seeing and imagining. My son loves Wizardology as a source of inspiration for games and 'makivity' and will often use a quiet moment to sit and read different parts of it.

4.0 out of 5 stars For all ages 6 Dec 2009
By Inspector Gadget VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
I used to be fascinated by books like this when I was a kid, particularly stuff about wizards or fiction with a fantastical edge. With so many "Ology" books to choose from out there I thought I would give one of them a go and I wasn't disappointed.

Written in the form of an actual diary (book of shadows?) from Merlin's point of view it gives an introductory and humorous insight into the practical world of wizardry on a wide range of topics. Each page has it's own secrets and you must examine each carefully before moving on. The artwork is lovely and carefully detailed, you could look at it for hours.

Some may write of the "Ology" series as a novelty but there is plenty in here to stimulate your child's imagination. As a kid I would have went back to this book again and again. Definitely a series to check out and a great book to start off with.

5.0 out of 5 stars wizardology review 27 Oct 2005
By The Librarian
Format:Hardcover
Yet again Templar has made another brilliant book. I can assure you that even after the great sucsess of Dragonology and Eygptology it is not an anticlimax. Wizardology is a rather clever book featuring fairy flags and phoenix feathers with two interesting puzzles. The first is to find Britain's 13 magical objects in the book and the other puzzle is to crack the Sigillum Mysteriorum. At the end you can reveal how to solve every magical problem. If you liked this book then try Dragonology and Egyptology and their companion volumes. Thanks for reading.

This book is beautifully illustrated and will delight any child. There is, however, little substance, and an adult may get bored because he or she already knows all this stuff. Read more
