Synopsis

A mystical guide to the history and mythology of witches and wizards from around the world. Perfect for fans of Harry Potter!

For centuries, people have told stories about witches and wizards. But where do these tales come from? Did these people really have magical powers?

Witchcraft expert Dr Angela Puca tackles these mysteries and many more in Witches and Wizards. Enchanting illustrations by Cinthya Álvarez add even more magic to the page.

Blending folklore and history, young readers will:

  • Discover whether healers really put ingredients such as "toe of frog" in potions
  • Learn about famous figures from around the world, such as Merlin, Baba Yaga, and Circe
  • Find out why people believed witches flew around on broomsticks


Hooked by the eerie trivia, kids will also learn about the history behind the supernatural world. They'll meet Indigenous healers, understand what caused the Salem witch trials, and discover all about the philosopher's stone.

It's a spook-tacular introduction to witchcraft for kids who love all things fantasy!
