title: The Good Spell Book: Love Charms, Magical Cures, and Other Practical Sorcery
author:  Gillian Kemp 
description: <i>The Good Spell Book</i> is a delightful little collection of Romany folklore, spells, charms, and cures that focus on the good things in life--love, luck, health, and happiness. The spells are simple and require only basic ingredients, such as a ribbon or a candle. This simplicity allows for a singular focus on the outcome of the spell, whether it's relieving a headache or finding a lost pet. With its rustic charm, <i>The Good Spell Book</i> stands out from other spell books; it looks like someone's diary with flower petals, photographs, and even postage stamps stuck between the pages. Whether you read <i>The Good Spell Book</i> out of curiosity or to add happy spells to your own collection, you're sure to enjoy the feel of this well-crafted volume. <i>--Brian Patterson</i>
