Nicholas Flamel and the Philosopher's Stone

by Nicolas Flamel, Nicholas Flammel

Unfortunately, there is no book titled ""Nicholas Flamel and the Philosopher's Stone by Flamel, Nicolas."" It seems to be a confusion between the character Nicholas Flamel from the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling and the real-life alchemist Nicolas Flamel. However, there is a book titled ""The The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel"" by Michael Scott, which follows the adventures of teenage twins Josh and Sophie as they discover that the legend of Nicholas Flamel and the Philosopher's Stone is real and embark on a dangerous journey to protect it from falling into the wrong hands. The book is a blend of fantasy, mythology, and historical fiction, incorporating characters and creatures from various cultures and legends. It is the first book in a six-part series and has been praised for its fast-paced action, intricate world-building, and engaging characters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About the author

Nicolas Flamel was a successful French scrivener and manuscript-seller who developed a posthumous reputation as an alchemist due to his reputed work on the philosopher's stone. Due to the many legends that accrued to his name, he has sometimes been supposed to be the creation of 17th-century editors; however, more recently official documents relating to his life have been found, including his marriage contract with Perenelle, his deeds of gift, and his will. Nevertheless, the works published under his name are highly disputed, and are more often described as "attributed to" rather than "written by" him.
