The Book of Witches (ages 14+)

The Book of Witches (ages 14+)

Our review

We have always been fascinated by the figure of the witch: the wise, the seductive, the fearsome. This anthology is, quite simply, the definitive grimoire. It is not a book by a single author, but a choir of ancestral voices from all over the world telling us their stories of magic. We have chosen it because it is a treasure for any folklore lover. Impedimenta's edition, as always, is a work of art in itself.

This is a very curious book of stories dedicated to the figure of witches. The author compiles tales from different cultures and divides them into several parts according to the theme: their spells, transformations, objects, potions...

The edition is especially beautiful, with small illustrations, hardcover and good thick paper. It also includes some very interesting final notes on the origin of each story. It is ideal for both adults and young people interested in these topics.
