Rosalind Kervan illustrated by Wayne Anderson
The Secret World of Magic
Frances Lincoln (48 pages) 9781845074814
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).
