Isabella Nagg and the Pot of Basil

'This book is a gem that was perfectly cut to fit the Pratchett-shaped hole in my heart'. C. M. Waggoner'A bubbling cauldron overflowing with imagination and charm'. Chris SugdenBooks 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.
