them and make them disappear." This is a story about REAL WITCHES.
Real witches dress in ordinary clothes, have ordinary jobs and look

. The Grand High Witch, leader of all the witches, has a plan to
make each and every child disappear. That is, unless one boy and
his grandmother can stop her . . .

(When walking in the heather, be careful of the tiny flutterpillar

In 1975, under a bed in an old house in Tarrytown, New York, an
unearthly tome entitled Ghostology was discovered, wrapped in a
substance, later found to be ectoplasm. It is the life's work and
study of American ghostologist Lucinda Curtle, who mysteriously
passed to the Other Side during a seance. After her death,
Ghostology seemingly became haunted by the ghost of Lucinda
herself, who now wants to keep the secrets of the dead A SECRET.
Now published, ghostwritten by Dugald Steer, the world itself can
decide if Ghostology - purporting to tell the truth about ghosts -
was solid fact or insubstantial fiction. Delve into the wealth of
information and learn about different types of ghosts, ghosts
around the world and ghost through history; haunted houses, ships
and other objects (including books); the ghostologist's field kit;
psychics and mediums; fakes and frauds; test your ghostological
knowledge on one of Lucinda's own case studies. Complete with a
jewel in the cover, as well as letters, booklets, sealed pages,
flaps, a moving wheel novelty and glow in the dark ink.
Featuring a silver-foil-embossed cloth cover, a ribbon marker and
sprayed silver edges, this gorgeous volume is filled with beautiful
illustrations and precise notes detailing the secret life of
mermaids. In 1872, intrepid (fictional) explorer Darcy Delamare
disguised herself as a man to claim a place on board the (real
life) scientific expedition of the HMS Challenger. She made a
record of her findings on the trip, recounting the extraordinary
sea creatures she witnessed: creatures that, until now, nobody had
believed really existed... mermaids! Following on from the
beautiful A Natural History of Fairies and A Natural History of
Magick, this beautifully illustrated vintage album is filled with
descriptions and illustrations of Delamare's findings, from tales
of mermaids in ancient lore to more recent sightings as well as
facts on the beliefs and superstitions surrounding these elusive
creatures. Children will delight in discovering the anatomy,
behaviour and lifecycles of the Merfolk and how they have hidden
themselves from human discovery over millennia. Pore over the
anatomy of tails, learn how these mysterious creatures communicate
and immerse yourself in their underwater world. The Folklore Field
Guides series is a charming collection of beautifully illustrated
handbooks on topics of lore and legend. Fascinating facts are
accompanied by breathtaking illustrations, all presented in an
engaging narrative form.
