Recensione

With over fifty books written for children, Rosalind Kerven embraces magic once again and presents it for young readers in such a way that will answer their questions and expand their imagination. Most importantly, this book leaves us with ways to think about and look for magic in our own lives. (Curled Up with a Book )

This is not a ‘how to do tricks’ manual but a mix of folk tales of magic and relevant information splendidly arranged and glowingly pictured. The stories are of worldwide origin with a number of British versions included. The information is about the elements, and the folk imaginations and beliefs that support the manner in which the stories were made and have survived. There’s a guide to a variety of forms of enchantment (should anyone need a diagnosis or a supplement to the amount of fantasy that has been appearing in conjunction with that boy wizard’s mass success).
