Wizards

By David A. McIntee

Book Overview

Wizards go by many names: sorcerers, magicians, and shamans, among others. They have been known variously as good and evil. Most have been men highly regarded for their knowledge and superior command of magic. Beyond Camelot, Middle Earth, and the halls of Hogwarts, the idea of ordinary men with extraordinary powers has been a significant part of global folklore. Fantastical images and whimsical retellings of wizard stories from around the world are given historical and cultural context throughout this engrossing volume. Readers will learn why these enchanting figures have endured and captured the imaginations of children and adults alike for centuries.
