Young wizard, I'm speaking to you . . . Draw near so I can share my secrets for creating fantastic, enchanted wizard's parties. You remember me, I'm the 600-year-old wizard who told you all about the magical world in The Book of Wizard Craft. Here I'll tell you how to create celebrations for all occasions and every season, from Merlin's Birthday Parley to a Spirited Druid Halloween Gathering. Marvelous things to make and do, yummy food to feast on, and astonishing stories and legends to read aloud and marvel over. Gathering together is very wizardly, and my best memories are the times I spent with my friends at their castles or mine, playing games and making magic. I'm unquestionably an authority on these matters-I've been around almost forever, right? Now it's your turn to have fun. Enjoy!

The wizard is back to share his secret recipes for fantastic parties and games! The wildly successful Book of Wizard Crafts has swept the nation, going through 8 printings and selling 250,000 copies in 3 months--and this companion volume kicks the fun into high gear. Young magicians-in-training can play together in cool style with their favorite conjurer's recipes for theme or seasonal parties. There are instructions for decorations, party wear, fabulous favors, crafts, games, and stories to read aloud. Mix potions for an Alchemists' Gathering, construct a Throne of the Realm for a Merlin's Birthday Parley, or build a Merry Maypole for a Welcome Springtime Fairy Frolic. Even make it "snow" inside for a Wizard's Winter Revels! Wave your homemade Fairy Wands and Wings--and a Crystal Crown (just like Glinda the Good Witch wore in the Land of Oz) really rules. Munch the Wizard's marvelous Mandrake Cupcakes and sip delicious Lavender Lemonade. Kids will agree--this is more fun than the local ice-cream parlor!
