Fun book
My 8 yr old loves this book. She’s really gotten into spells, fairies and witches over the last year. She reads it quiet a bit. Some spells are tongue twisters but we have fun trying to pronounce some of the words.

A great and interesting read.
I picked this book up at my local library in Darlington and instantly purchased it. It’s a great read for me and my children. It’s full of interesting facts, historical references and beliefs that make you question and wonder. It’s a book you can always go back to, no matter your age. The illustrations are stunning, it’s written so well. An excellent addition to our book shelf.
