Synopsis

"Fans of all that is wizardly will love this one."-School Library Journal. "Lavishly illustrated throughout...the first of its kind, a fabulous fantasy and a how-to crafts book in one."-Hobby Merchandiser.

Narrated by a 600-year-old wizard, this collection of 50 crafts goes beyond glitter and tissue paper projects, to include sewing a wizard's robe, making crystal candy and learning to read tea leaves. Between projects, kids can read stories of Celtic Shape Shifters and of King Arthur. ( Apr.) Children's Literature If you have a would-be wizard at your house, this could prove to be a handy book to have around. There are instructions for Wizard Regalia (hats, feather turbans, robes, pendants, and so forth), items to decorate a wizard's house or room, horticulture arts (fairy circles are nice), and animal husbandry with instructions for your own apothecary. There are also instructions for making secret journals with black or invisible ink. Wizards can learn to make Dragon Blood and a Fizzing Phantom Potion. Each chapter includes stories of famous ghosts and wizards, , unusual creatures, herbs, and assorted facts about astronomy. The grand finale is a wizard's party-plan, complete with recipes for special dishes such as bat wings, petrified tree cookies and crystal candy. Templates for various projects are enclosed for the reader's convenience. This is a book to keep a young person entertained for many days.
