5.0 out of 5 stars Charm a whole new generation of aspiring wizards, June 5, 2007

This review is from: The Wizardology Handbook: A Course for Apprentices (Ologies) (Spiral-bound)

"Those who study the art of wizardology must remember that all magic is an act of the imagination." So says the legendary Merlin in Dugald A. Steer's THE WIZARDOLOGY HANDBOOK: A Course for Apprentices. When we last heard from the Master conjuror, he had fashioned a journal --- known to magic enthusiasts as WIZARDOLOGY: The Book of the Secrets of Merlin --- from the trunk of a tree in which he'd been imprisoned, divulging centuries' worth of knowledge and insight on the mystical world, in hopes of finding his next great successor.

In this companion volume, scribbled on the remaining pieces of his wooden confines, he once again extends the invitation to wizards-in-training and supplements his already abundant lessons with even more fascinating facts, humorous anecdotes and spellbinding illustrations that focus on the natural world and seasons. This enchanting and in-depth course for Wizard apprenticeship describes everything a student of magic would need to follow in Merlin's footsteps --- from dealing with genies, fairies and elves, casting spells and harnessing weather, to making wands, using magical plants and interpreting the positions of stars.

Replete with a glossary of magical terms, stickers to decorate your workshop and a section for your own spells, this fantastical handbook will surely fire the imaginations of readers young and old, and charm a whole new generation of aspiring wizards worthy of the great Merlin himself.

I bought this book for my Grandaughter who is a great Harry Potter fan and she tells me it is a great book! I have purchased several of the ologies for her and she is excited by everyone of them. They look like they are very well done and differently done.The Wizardology Handbook: A Course for Apprentices (Ologies)

If you are a fan of Merlin, it is for sure that you will enjoy this book. It has some magic spells, and other interesting information and data, that could be usefull, if you want to become a wizard yourself. The illustrations and presentation is great, like a collector's book.
