Wizardology
The Book of the Secrets of Merlin
For apprentice wizards, could there be a better teacher than Merlin himself? Said to have been originally discovered in 1588, this remarkable text by history's most respected wizard is revealed to the world for the very first time. Lavishly illustrated by several excellent artists, Wizardology's intricate design even conceals a series of hidden symbols that spell out a secret message when their code is deciphered —- if the reader is clever enough to find them. Having one's tongue firmly in cheek is a great aid for truly enjoying and benefiting from this book.
Special features include a glittering crystal ball-like jewel on the front cover, a world map showing locations of wizards around the globe, tactile samples of a "fairy flag" with one wish remaining and a phoenix feather to aid in flying charms, booklets explaining the proper use of spells, familiars, and potions, a removable dragon pendant allowing the user to dowse for mythical beasts, a pack of eight removable fortune-tellling cards, and a 48-page mini book of divination on the final spread.
About the publication of this volume Wizardology was originally printed in Elizabethan England shortly after its discovery, and then again lost; it was reportedly rediscovered in the secred compartment of an ancient chest in an unknown location at an unknown time, but not very long ago. This volume is a facsimile thereof, intended for the amusement and edification of the public. The forms of language and the spellings have been updated for the convenience of modern readers.
Wizardology, hardcover, fully and beautifully illustrated throughout, 32 pages, dimensions about 10 1/4" x 12."
£14:99
