From the Ancient Greek goddess Hecate to the Wicked Witch of the West, stories of witchcraft and wizardry have been told around the world for thousands of years. The Pocket Book of Witches is your guide to the art, history, and folklore of sorcery, with tales from across the globe accompanied by a beautiful archive of the finest magical art. Explore changing representations of magic-wielders, from figures of fear and persecution to archetypes of feminine power, and discover why witchcraft today is as popular as it has ever been.
Joel Levy is a writer specialising in the intersection of history, science and the unexplained. He was the author and creative force behind the groundbreaking 2000 book, Fabulous Creatures and Magical Beings, described by one reviewer as the nearest thing to Harry Potter’s biology text book; and has written on topics from Atlantis to Stephen Hawking. His published titles include Gothic Science: The Era of Ingenuity and the Making of Frankenstein; Poison: A Social History; and Reality Ahead of Schedule: How Science Fiction Inspires Science Fact.
