Be amazed by the extraordinary collection of over two hundred magical items collected through the centuries.
Sixteen rooms for a treasure trove of knowledge and magic waiting to be discovered.

A weird wizard has collected the most famous magical things of all time in his mind-boggling mansion. Every room bristles with knowledge and magic: the flying carpet from Arabian Nights; the Narnia wardrobe; the Celtic sword of Durendal the Mighty; the Hogwarts sorting hat; Snow White’s poisoned apple; Gilgamesh’s flower of immortality; Mary Poppins’ umbrella; and Pullman’s Golden Compass.

• A compendium of magical artefacts taken from literature, fables, myth and folklore from every culture.

• A guide to an enchanted palace, where, room by room, the reader will discover the wizard's extended collection of memorabilia.

• Each illustrated object comes with a description of its specific supernatural qualities, plus a short (and funny) description of its history and origin.
