Re: Biothaumaturgy and other matters

I forgot to add one!

Harriet the Hedge Witch
A series of early reader books about the adventures of a young earth wizard. This lushly illustrated series was created by an artist named Noelia Flores in the early twentieth century, and it's often compared to The Tales of Peter Rabbit and Brambly Hedge. When he was a kid, Ananth read these books so often that he could recite them from memory.

I imagine that, in this alternate universe where magic is real, there are a few significant differences in culture and society. One of these differences is that there's no tension between the United States and Latin America, and people come and go between North America and South America freely. So why wouldn't one of the most beloved series of children's books in America be written by an Argentinian woman?

That being said, I sort of want to write and illustrate the first book in this series myself. I've been doing more research into Beatrix Potter, and jfc that woman is amazing. I'm extremely inspired by her work!
