I have read a few beginner books before this & I feel this work is partly good, partly not.
What I enjoyed were the accounts of various folk magical traditions- you don‘t find those in many books. But I also felt that the author word drops a lot, without giving proper explanations for the practices she mentions.
If you are a complete beginner, you may need to read some other book first & then pick this one up.
Narrator has done a great job.
