By Rupert White
Antenna Publications, 2025

With a foreword by Graham King - MWM Director 1996 - 2014.

Close to the crashing waves of Boscastle Harbour in Cornwall, The Museum of Witchcraft & Magic - MWM - contains one of the world's most loved and most influential collection of magical objects. The museum has changed much during the sixty-plus years that it has been open, yet it retains the imprint of one man in particular: its founder Cecil Williamson. This book tells Williamson's story, and covers his life as a film-maker, an MI6 operative, and an owner and creator of several museums.
