Overview

New York Times Bestseller*

The long-awaited next book from actress and New York Times bestselling author of The Rural Diaries, Hilarie Burton Morgan. Through memoir essays and magical practices, Grimoire Girl connects us to the enchantment that exists inside us all.

Since childhood, Hilarie Burton Morgan has felt the call to record, keep, and catalogue life in all its strange wonder. It was a whimsical habit, with no clear goal. And then, when she became a mother, the importance of all that collecting snapped into focus.*

In an effort to patchwork together an anthology of traditions, curiosity, and magical thinking that she could pass down, Burton Morgan realized she was crafting a grimoire.*

In her most intimate book yet, Burton Morgan shares how she's creating an inheritance of mischief and magic that will outlive her. What's more, she shows readers how they too can look at the elements of their lives and collect the pieces into a tangible collection of a lifetime of learning. Because in its purest form, a grimoire was a guide to keep you alive.

Like the grimoires of old, full of life-saving wisdom, these pages record the people, places, ideas and habits that have kept Burton Morgan alive, in her signature voice that is at once honest, witty, and charming. Accompanied by whimsical two-color illustrations by Olivia Faust, the book also includes Simple Spells, which are ways to bring magic into your daily life: create an altar that delights and inspires, practice candle magic and poetry spells, make an oracle deck, or channel your inner kitchen witch with recipes and potions.

So begin creating your own inheritance, take a long look inward and decide...

What wisdom will be written on the pages of your Grimoire?

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.


Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

There’s a new reason to know and love Hilarie Burton Morgan, as she’s just written a lovely, thoughtful, and tad weird book called Grimoire Girl, full of sweet, funny, Burton-esque anecdotes and stories.” — Scary Mommy

Marie Claire on The Rural Diaries

An honest depiction of how [Hilarie] transformed from actress to farmer in upstate New York, reconnecting to the land she grew up in and navigating motherhood.”

NOVEMBER 2023 - AudioFile

Hilarie Burton Morgan shares new stories from Mischief Farm, expanding upon the relationship she began with listeners with her first memoir. Traditionally, a grimoire is a book of magic spells. Morgan's unique twist begins with her definition of a grimoire: a personal collection of practices, beliefs, and knowledge to be handed down to her children. Morgan describes how listeners can write one of their own and in an excited voice provides examples of her grimoire's contents and the memories that inspired them. She challenges old views of witchcraft, even sharing paranormal encounters. Burton's conversational tone is enhanced by her Southern accent. Listeners will hear the smile in her delivery and the way her voice breaks in sad moments. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
