Summary:

A compendium for kids of all things magical and unexplained throughout the ages and around the world. A fascinating look into the secrets of the supernatural world for curious children obsessed with magic and mystery. Informative as well as fun, this compelling book explores every aspect of magic through the ages and across many cultures. It traces the history of magic rituals from spells and potions to alchemy and shamanism, as well as investigating other mysteries of the paranormal. No other book offers the same in-depth, analytical approach to the supernatural. While it's a fun read, it takes its subject seriously-taking a historical, fully comprehensive approach to the supernatural world across all cultures. With stunning illustrations on every page, The Book of Mysteries, Magic, and the Unexplained traces the story of myth and magic from ancient superstitions to medieval alchemy and divination to the modern-day fascination with the occult. Taking a neutral stance, it explores the facts behind spells and potions, seances and tarot cards, fortune tellers, witchcraft and wizardry, unexplained natural phenomena, and much, much more. This intriguing book cannot fail to capture the imagination of kids everywhere.
