Description

The witch and her black cat are an iconic partnership, but every witch is different shouldnt you have a familiar as unique and powerful as you are Leave the toads and crows to the basic witches and consider some unconventional options when seeking your own arcane animal companion! With a helpful quiz to get you started, Unfamiliar Familiars is a lighthearted and humorous guide to finding the familiar best suited to your personality and particular magical needs whether it be a narwhal (strong in clairvoyance and fencing), an albatross (best for seafaring witches), or an earthworm (for garden-based magic and fish summoning).

Authors Justin DeVine and Megan Lynn Kott bring to life a menagerie of magical creatures from around the world with vibrant watercolour illustrations and tongue-in-cheek descriptions that not only detail real-life facts about each animal but also a playful read on its magical affinities as a familiar (for example, the bullfrog has a voice that can be heard up to half a mile away, making them ideal for musical enchantments and harmonising along with you in the car). Filled with playful pop culture references, unusual and engaging animal facts, and Megans aww-inducing artwork, Unfamiliar Familiars brings a magical twist to the animal fact book for companion-seeking witches everywhere.
