The Secret World of Magic introduces the young child to spells, fairies, witches and wizards. It is catalogued as a picture book, but is more of a non-fiction book for the slightly older reader, ages 6 to 9.
The book is broken down into twelve chapters such as; "Makers of Magic," "Wishes," "Lucky Charms," "Secret Worlds," etc. The information in the book is based on authentic folklore and folk tales from around the world.
On the heels of the Harry Potter craze, children will be fascinated by the stories and the odd tidbits collected, relating to this mysterious subject.
Wayne Anderson, the illustrator, is well known for his mythical characters. In this book, the drawings are created with pencil, crayons, watercolors and ink.
I would recommend this book to any child interested in the world of magic and who is able to distinguish fact from fiction.
