Witches, forces of nature, and a touch of magic!
✓ For fans of the Studio Ghibli animations!
✓ A cozy cottage core story collection of witches and magic
This atmospheric collection of four stories draws you into the world of Launeala, where young witches care for their loved ones, brew remedies, and gather by the warmth of the hearth as storms rage beyond their cottage walls.
Enna is a young village witch whose nearby village is beset by a string of afflictions. High in her mountain cabin, Moira’s life is transformed when she rescues a mysterious dog from the freezing cold. Siblings Anders and Linda set off with their parents in an airship to study mammoths. Meanwhile, Aisha, lost in her work, stands on the seashore, watching a dragon storm rise on the horizon.
A Year of Tea and Magic presents four gently enchanting tales of witches, filled with the cozy charm of forest cabins, magical moments, talking animals, and the flutter of the heart—along with just the right touch of tea and sweet treats. Magdalena Hai’s captivating stories are beautifully brought to life through Heikala’s delightful illustrations.
