Magic School Makes Monsters: The Unmagical Life of Briar Jones by Lex Croucher Is this a magic school book, or does it want to burn the magic schools down?

What if it's not that power corrupts - but that a school exists to corrupt those who'll wield power?

That's the heart of✨️THE UNMAGICAL LIFE OF BRIAR JONES✨️ which is so much more than a magic school book. Screamingly funny, bloody dark, wickedly clever: absolutely unmissable!

Shine a light on Wyrd & Wonder The calendrical clock is ticking. We have passed the spring equinox and the moon is just starting to show her face: a good time to make plans and launch new endeavours. The only better time to announce this year’s Wyrd & Wonder would have been sooner, but would that have been as auspicious? Yes, we’re BACK this May for a month of delighting in fantasy under the light of not one but…

With the equinox behind us the sun is now ascendant, but the young moon is showing her face again: a good time to make plans and set intentions. Wyrd & Wonder will be back this May for a month following wherever tales of the moon lead. Will you join us?
