Reprinted by permission of Simon & Schuster, Inc, N.Y. "Or perhaps you're his."įrom "Magic Lessons" by Alice Hoffman (Simon & Schuster). "I suppose he's yours," Hannah had said to the baby in her basket when seven days had passed and the crow had not left his post on the fence surrounding the garden, not even to eat or drink. I just adore this tale of magic, family, and sisterhood. This book is the first book in the practical magic series.

Practical Magic (1995) The Book of Magic (2021) Reviews of the Practical Magic Books in Order (publication order) Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman For years, the Owens women have known that their bad luck is because of a curse. There he cleaned his gleaming feathers and kept a sharp eye on Maria. Magic Lessons is a celebration of life and love and a showcase of Alice Hoffman’s masterful storytelling. Whenever the weather turned foul, he settled onto the wooden perch kept beside the sooty fire. The crow had been allowed to stay and was called Cadin, a name derived from Maria's baby talk name of Cawcaw. One could hardly toss stones at such a loyal, insistent creature. He could not be chased off with pails of vinegar and water nor with shouts and threats. In the child's first days at Hannah's cottage, the insistent bird beat his wings against the cloudy, pitted glass window, doing his best to be let in.
