Magicians (Hardcover)

Like the other books in our Magical Beings series, this one is a compact introduction to complex and intriguing aspects of reality. Here, Elizabeth Ratisseau presents magicians from legend and story. Magicians cause change through their supernatural powers. They occur in all cultures, and apparently even in pre-historic cultures. Some famous magicians are Paracelsus, Merlin, Eliphas Levi, and the Comte de Saint Germain. The illustrations in this volume are drawn largely from old storybooks for children, who like the rest of us, are fascinated by magic.
