Product Description
The Wizard's Book of Spells is an enchanted journey through the history and traditions of wizardry. It explores the secrets of ancient sorcerers, the practices of medieval alchemists, and the rituals of modern magicians; it reveals how lucky talismans work, suggests tools for successful spell-casting, and resolves the riddles that surround sacred sites and ceremonial magic. Along the way it introduces the most remarkable wizards in history, from the evil sorceress Circe to the legendary Merlin - all captured in a superb series of original illustrations by Robert Ingpen.
