BristolCon 2016

I’m looking forward to taking part in BristolCon again this year!

October 29th 10. 00 a.m. in Programme Room 1

NOT JUST HOCUS POCUS

We all know the appeal of wand and incantation systems of magic in fantasy fiction, exemplified by Harry Potter (Wingardium Leviosa!) but what about more subtle and deeper kinds of magic, the kind you maybe can’t learn in Wizard School? We consider the forms such magic might take and has taken in literature:

Lucy Hounsom (M) Philip Purser-Hallard, Paul Cornell, Ellen Crosháin, Sarah Ash

I’ll also be talking about manga and anime at 3 p.m. in the Art Room:

‘Sleigh Beggies, Black Dogs and Knavish Sprites – Japanese manga and anime creators take inspiration from the folklore and legends of the United Kingdom.’
