The hidden history of English magic

From the earliest times, Britain has acted as a home to generations of eccentrics and scholars who have researched and explored every conceivable kind of occult art. This explores the hidden story, from its first stirrings to our present-day fascination with the occult.

I cannot praise this book enough both for its content and its style... it is excellent value. Highly recommended and enjoyable - a book I shall keep close by my desk for reference
