Eliot Humberstone

It was when I bought another book at the thriftstore - purely for nostalgic reasons, that my better half and I talked about books from our early years. This must have been his favorite(?) He talked about "Noidan Käsikirja" with such passion, that I decided to find myself a copy. And what have I caused??? A great number of my (Finnish) friends went bonkers! How popular this book was back then, I had no idea: I grew up in Belgium and didn't have any knowledge this book even existed! But here, in Finland, it must have made quite an impact on one's late childhood/early teenage years!
Having finally read this book, I can say I might not be as sentimental as my friends, but I defintely share their excitement! I'm sure if I had read it when they did, I would have had a bad time sleeping - especially with the parts on vampires and ghosts! LOL… (more)
