DESCRIPTION
A delightfully witty cosy fantasy for lovers of Pratchett 'This book is a gem that was perfectly cut to fit the Pratchett-shaped hole in my heart' C.M. Waggoner
A witty, cosy adult fantasy in which a beleaguered farmer's wife decides to try her hand at magic - and causes her quiet village to fall into chaos (including, but not limited to, depressed sentient animals, talking herbs, and villainous ponzi schemes involving goblin fruit)
'A bubbling cauldron overflowing with imagination and charm' Chris Sugden
Books can change lives. Magic books can cause absolute chaos.
Isabella Nagg lives on a tiny, miserable farm in a tiny, miserable village with a husband who's about as useful as a wet sock. Her days are filled with scrunge (don't ask), mildly cursed livestock, and singing to her beloved pot of basil. It's not much-but it's hers.
Then Mr. Nagg brings home a stolen spell book from the local wizard, and Isabella starts to wonder: what's the worst that could happen?
Cue one grumpy cat-like companion, a magical Ponzi scheme, and a journey through a world where enchantment meets bureaucracy and goblins have opinions on capitalism. As Isabella stumbles into spells, secrets, and self-discovery, she might just find that magic isn't the only thing she's been missing.
Isabella Nagg and the Pot of Basil is a delightfully bonkers, footnote-filled romp for fans of Pratchett, folklore, and anyone who suspects their houseplants might be judging them.
