Overview

Close to the crashing waves of Boscastle Harbour in Cornwall, the Museum of Witchcraft & Magic (MoWM) contains one of the world's most loved and most influential collection of magical objects. The museum has changed much during the sixty-plus years that it has been open, yet it retains the imprint of one man in particular: its founder Cecil Williamson. This book tells Williamson's story, and covers his life as a film-maker, a MI6 operative, and an owner and creator of several museums. Rupert White writes with an honesty and integrity, that never detracts from his affection for the person who is his subject' Professor Ronald Hutton 'A truly exhaustive account' Simon Costin 'A fantastic book, that provides us with many more pieces of the jigsaw' Steve Patterson Rupert White has pulled together a history of Cecil Williamson's life and his museums - an extraordinary task for which we should all be extremely grateful. From the foreword by Graham King.
