AMUSING ANECDOTES FOR THE ANIMAGUS

Esmeralda Sandyman

Praise for Amusing Anecdotes for the Animagus

"Ms. Sandyman's humorous accounts of Polo the Goat, Balin the Eagle, and Alfred the worm are a hilariously wonderful read. I sometimes can't quite believe them myself!"

---Sally Norton, journalist, The Daily Prophet

"A very nice book indeed, although, I must say, the lack of lion animagus did make me rather sad. Perhaps this is because I had met one when I saved an entire town from pixies. Check my books for further information." --- Gilderoy Lockhart, author, Magical Me

"I learned some things, yeah."

---Rita Skeeter, Daily Prophet


ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Esmeralda Sandyman is the author of several best-selling books, including Help! A Horklump in the Garden! (And other Garden Problems), The Tiny Tome of Tidiness, and Gno More Gnomes! amongst many others. A fan of home-related books ("I've read Gilderoy Lockhart's Guide to Household Pests more times than you can count," Esmeralda says.), she seems to have suddenly changed over to story- telling and a "more unique" topic.

When not writing, Esmeralda spends her time at her home in Middlesbrough and "wherever the stories are." Ms. Sandyman's hobbies include wizard's chess, massage therapy, and interpretive dance.
