Patrinella Cooper was born in a bender tent near Manchester and spent her infancy in a horse-drawn wagon. She eloped at the age of 17, eventually travelling with her husband to Australia, where they made a living by fortune-telling, hawking, opal mining, gold fossicking and working the fairs. When they returned to England, they settled in the east of Britain, where they live to this day. Patrinella has had a life-long interest in the magical subjects described in this book, and was fortunate enough to be born into a traditional family who could satisfy her curiosity with their wisdom.
