Witchery Ways consists of 16 tales, with a bunch of weird and wonderful characters such as goblins, brownies, nixies, pixies, wizards, and even witches; this will leave not only children but adults alike spellbound and compelled to keep listening! Originally written in 1904, Goatshead Castle Productions is proud to present Witchery Ways! "I have always had a high regard for the fairies, with all their kinsfolk, the goblins, brownies, gnomes, nymphs, dryads, elfs, nixies, pixies, wizards, and even the witches. I have always refused to believe that these happy fairy friends of ours spend their time in nothing but sipping honey-dew and dancing around toad-stools. It has been a great pleasure, therefore, to discover some of the more useful operations of the fairy folk, and to record in this book their practical pranks. These are fairy stories with a purpose. The Reflecting Face; is intended to mirror a fault or a virtue of your own. Cram may teach you to study, and Student William, to teach Jackdaw to be honest, and 'Dr. Bright's Alarm-clock' to be industrious. The Discerning Hammer; is intended to hammer a truth or two into your head, and from The Magic Counter; you may buy some notions worth having. With King Nirvus you will find out the secret of a soft bed, and with Tricephalos you will learn how to manage men. Splatzonderkoff; will become, I hope, a word of some significance in your vocabulary, and the Propulsive Pen may be allowed to do your writing. I have a high opinion of my readers, too, as well as of the fairies. I believe they will be no less pleased with these stories because they mean to do more than entertain. But I hope they will entertain. At any rate, if you go to sleep over this book you may throw it away, and I'll never say a word!" (Amos E. Wells, Boston, 1904)
