Do you believe in fairies? Protected
and hidden by a society of Fairy
lovers for over 80 years the secret
fairy journal of Cicely Mary Barker is
available for the first time ever to the
public. Learn what really happened
during that magical Summer of 1920
when Cicely Mary Barker discovered
the secret world of the Flower
Fairies.
Bursting with glorious watercolors
painted by Cicely Mary Barker in the
early 20th century, Fairyopolis: A
Flower Fairies Journal is a facsimile
scrapbook, which opens with a
painting of Bartons, where Barker
stayed in Storrington, England, to do
some relaxing and painting (and,
according to the entries here, some
fairy-spotting). Across the elegant
parchment-like pages readers will
discover the tiny footprints of fairies,
a bound-in miniature guide to the
wee winged folk and-among the more
earthbound souvenirs-a pass to the
Storrington library, foldout map of
Sussex and recipe for blackberry
jam. Fans of Barker's artwork will
want to pore over these elegantly
designed pages, as will those who
believe in fairies.

EGYPTOLOGY
The allure of ancient Egypt and the
thrill of uncovering mysteries that
have lain hidden for thousands of
years is irresistible, and this was
especially so to the redoutable
Miss Emily Sands, who in 1926,
four years after the discovery of
King Tut's tomb, led an expedition
up the Nile in search of the tomb
of the god Osiris. Although, sadly,
Miss Sands and her crew vanished
into the desert and were never
seen again, luckily her keen
observations live on in the form of
her lovingly kept journal, full of
drawings, photographs, booklets,
foldout maps, postcards, and many
other intriguing samples.
Rich with information about life in
ancient Egypt and peppered with
Miss Sands's lively narration,
Egyptology concludes with a letter
from the former Keeper of
Antiquities at the British Museum,
explaining which parts of this
wonderful tale may be accepted as
fact, which parts are guided by
legend, and which parts reflect the
author's delightful sense of fancy.
Special features include an
extravagantly gilded cover,
featuring a raised Horus hawk
pendant with three encrusted
gems, a playable game of Senet,
ancient Egyptian checkers,
including board, pieces,
original-style dice, and rules, a
souvenir booklet showing how to
read simple hieroglyphs, a scrap of
textured "mummy cloth," a
facsimile of the gilded mummy
mask of King Tut, and a gilded
eye-of-Horus amulet with a "jewel"
at the end.
Egyptology, hardcover, fully
illustrated throughout, 32 pages,
dimensions about 10 1/4" x 12."

| WIZARDOLOGY $19.99 |
For apprentice wizards,
could there be a better
teacher than Merlin
himself? Said to have been
originally discovered in
1588, this remarkable text
by history's most respected
wizard is revealed to the
world for the very first time.
Lavishly illustrated by
several excellent artists,
Wizardology's intricate
design even conceals a
series of hidden symbols
that spell out a secret
message when their code is
deciphered —- if the reader
is clever enough to find
them. Having one's tongue
firmly in cheek is a great aid
for truly enjoying and
benefiting from this book.
Special features include a
glittering crystal ball-like
jewel on the front cover, a
world map showing
locations of wizards around
the globe, tactile samples
of a "fairy flag" with one
wish remaining and a
phoenix feather to aid in
flying charms, booklets
explaining the proper use
of spells, familiars, and
potions, a removable
dragon pendant allowing
the user to dowse for
mythical beasts, a pack of
eight removable fortune-
tellling cards, and a 48-page
mini book of divination on
the final spread.
About the publication of
this volume Wizardology
was originally printed in
Elizabethan England shortly
after its discovery, and then
again lost; it was reportedly
rediscovered in the secred
compartment of an ancient
chest in an unknown
location at an unknown
time, but not very long ago.
This volume is a facsimile
thereof, intended for the
amusement and edification
of the public. The forms of
language and the spellings
have been updated for the
convenience of modern
readers.

| DRAGONOLOGY $19.99 |
Now for the first time the long-lost
research of renowned 19th
century dragonologist Dr. Ernest
Drake is presented in all its
eccentric glory, happily bridging
the gap between dragon legend
and fact. The meticulous Dr. Drake
has devised Latin names for
various dragon species, discussed
why dragons are able to speak,
speculated on how they could fly,
and explains the true purpose of
their notorious hoarding habits.
Among Dragonology's fascinating
features are a novelty item on
every spread, including tactile
samples of dragon wings, dragon
scales, and dragon skin, a booklet
of dragon riddles (indispensable
to new dragonologists), a sealed
envelope containing a powerful
dragon-calling spell, all between
embossed faux leather covers
with silver foil and three dragon
gem embellishments. In his
afterword, Dr. Drake reveals that
one of the crucial goals of
dragonologists is to preserve the
magnificent creatures of their
study wherever possible -- a goal
this tongue-in-cheek volume most
affectionately achieves. It's an
incomparable gift for
dragonologists everywhere.
