Wizards tells all!
I've really enjoyed Osprey's Myths & Legends books! This was no exception. It was a very complete work that dealt with wizards whose legends are told thru history & not the ones we may know now thru literature & film. I liked that it told the legend of the wizard as well as what is actually'known' about who the real person might have been. All very well told!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
