Wizardology 
Dugald Steer, illustrated by Anne-Yvonne Gilbert, John Howe, Tomislav Tomic and Helen Ward

Many hundreds of years ago, the great magician Merlin created this elaborate book for his apprentice, containing all his knowledge about the ancient brotherhood of wizards around the world and their many different magical arts.

Covering transformations, conjurations, potions, charms and spells, it is packed with ingenious novelties, including a spinning amulet, a 'phoenix' feather, fortune-telling cards and a real swatch of fairy flag! The perfect starting point for budding young magicians. This bejewelled book also contains a hidden secret miniature hardback book of divination.

"Forget biology, neurology and philology, most of us would much rather study Wizardology. Until the National Curriculum adopts it, we have Dugald Steer's beautifully illustrated wizard primer, packed with spells, fortune telling cards, a phoenix feather and a spinning amulet. Lots of fun and Steer includes educational chapters on the history of wizards."

"Wizardology is a winner with the Harry Potter market."

". . . never before has a book on the arts desk attracted so many admiring looks and been so flicked through by curious browsers on their way to the watercooler . . ."
