I love "Enchanted Chocolate Pot." Caroline Stevermer has written a few books on her own in the College of Magics series, too, though I think the first "A College of Magics" is the best. She's an alum from my college, and if you know the campus it's great fun playing "spot the fictionalized actual building."

I'm curious how visible the "Surreal Botany" table was--did you not find it?
