About the author

Kathryn Horsley is credited on Investigating Magic (Rosen Education Service, 2016), a young-readers' survey of belief in magic across cultures, from ancient black magic and medieval witchcraft to modern stage magic and fictional traditions such as Harry Potter. The book traces how ideas about supernatural power recur across societies and eras, treating magic as a subject of cultural history rather than as instruction or practice. Aimed at students and general young readers, it favors context and comparison over technique, situating well-known folklore and popular fiction inside a longer history of belief. Readers looking for an accessible, classroom-friendly introduction to how societies have understood magic, rather than a practical guide to occult methods, will find Investigating Magic a useful starting point. The catalogue lists no other titles under this name.
