"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. --- Reviewed by Marisa Emralino
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)
For those of you who find this book offensive, you absolutely have the right to your opinions. I applaud your various faiths and beliefs, buuuuuuuuuuuuut....it is a beautiful book and is not to be taken literally. It is based on fantasy, even if those fantasies are based on real folklore. Have you read the other "ologies"; piratology, egyptology...? They are fun and educational and may not be as offensive.
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.
Nice book....was a bit surprised that it was much smaller in dimension than all the other "ology" books; it is tiny in comparison. Other than that it was all it promised to be! My 10 year old really enjoys it.
I have read this book many times before while at the library, and have always wanted a copy. I finally got one, and despite the fact that I got it used, it was in great condition, and almost everything (except for a few stickers I wasn't counting on getting anyways) was there, unlike times before I have purchased ology books used and it had tons of writing, and pieces missing inside.
Lots of colorful pages - filled with drawings, short narrative, and fun items to remove from the book (notes, imitation pages from sourcerers books, magic wand, etc.)
I bought the whole set of ology books my fifth grade grandson did not like to read. after he saw these books he was excited and just loved all the little surprises inside of them. the whole set is wonderful.they also look good on a bookshelf or in your library. They are neatly done, and colorful!
