About the author
Joel Levy appears in the catalogue with two illustrated reference books from Chronicle Books, Pocket Book of Witches: Myth, Magic & Meaning and Pocket Book of Dragons: Myth, Magic & Meaning. Both are compact, illustrated surveys: the witches volume traces the symbolism and folklore of witches across cultures and historical periods, treating the figure of the witch as both feared and revered across traditions, while the dragons volume gathers myths and depictions of dragons from around the world, paired with curated historical illustrations. The books are structured as accessible overviews rather than practical guides or specialist scholarship, aimed at general readers with an interest in folklore, myth, and the history of these figures across cultures. Both titles share the small-format, gift-book design typical of Chronicle's Pocket Book series, suggesting an author working across popular mythology and folklore reference titles.
