Publication Information
A remarkable new find for devotees of the bestselling Dragonology and Egyptology and Apprentices seeking the Power of Wizards for Good Purpose. Wizardology offers valuable spells, charms, recipes, arcane wisdom, and even helpful tips: "For the chasing away of boils, buboes, pustules and unsightly lumps.." But, Apprentices, beware and take heed: "Wizardology is not a subject to be pottered with. Heed the example of Dr. Faustus, who made an ill-advised pact with a rather nasty spirit. He got everything he wanted but had to pay with his soul."
"Tabs to pull, directions on how to make a wand, a miniature bound-in spell book, a pack of cards with which to predict a person's future and much, much more, are all contained in an attractive faux-leather volume with facsimile parchment pages." - Publishers Weekly
"Sure to appeal to fantasy buffs and lovers of legend and lore." - Children's Literature
