A mystical guide to the history and mythology of witches and wizards from around the world by expert Dr. Angela Puca, perfect for fans of Harry Potter!
For centuries, people have told stories about witches and wizards. But where do these tales come from? Did these people really have magical powers? Witchcraft expert Dr. Angela Puca tackles these mysteries and many more in Witches and Wizards. Enchanting illustrations by Cinthya Álvarez add even more magic to the page.
Blending folklore and history, readers will:
• Discover whether healers really put ingredients such as "toe of frog" in potions
• Learn about famous figures from around the world, such as Merlin, Baba Yaga, and Medea
• Find out why people believed witches flew around on broomsticks
Hooked by the eerie trivia, kids will also learn about the history behind the supernatural world. They'll meet Indigenous healers, understand what caused the Salem witch trials, and discover why people hid "witch bottles" under their doors.
It's a spook-tacular introduction to witchcraft for kids who love all things fantasy!

Dr. Angela Puca is an academic and university lecturer, with a PhD in Religious Studies on Italian Witchcraft and Shamanism. Her research focuses on magic, witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, shamanism, and related fields.

Cinthya Álvarez likes to draw, although she also likes movies, aliens, vampires, literature, elves, cats and dogs, talking to animals, crazy fashion, bad manners, castles, spaceships, going to the flea market and taking long walks. But when she’s not enjoying that, you’ll almost certainly catch her drawing. Cinthya previously illustrated Dragons for Neon Squid.
