Wizard Zittle: Boonsboro Magic

By Drogo Empedocles

This 'Wizard Zittle' book of tall-tales is based on the local legend of Michael Zittle the Younger who lived in a log-cabin in Zittlestown, near Boonsboro, Maryland. His village was named after his father, who owned the land and sub-divided it to Zittle friends and family. The Wizard Zittle published his magic book 'Friend In Need' in 1845. Zittlestown is part of the legacy of South Mountain; which includes the first historic Washington Monument (a short stone tower in Scottish broch style), a Civil War battle, and a Victorian book 'South Mountain Magic' (1882 Dahlgren) that references the Wizard and his magical practices, among other folk-tales. Therefore this Gothic Revival novel is 'historical fiction'. Includes various illustrations.
