Book of Enchantments is a collection of short stories by fantasy author Patricia C. Wrede. It was first published in hardcover by Harcourt Brace in 1996, and was subsequently issued in paperback by Point Fantasy in 1998 and in trade paperback by Magic Carpet Books in 2005. Five of the stories had appeared previously in the anthologies Liavek: The Players of Luck, edited by Will Shetterly and Emma Bull, The Unicorn Treasury, edited by Bruce Coville, Tales of the Witch World 3, edited by Andre Norton, A Wizard’s Dozen, edited by Michael Stearns, and Black Thorn, White Rose, edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling.
The book collects ten fantasy stories by Wrede, together with a recipe associated with one of the stories and notes by the author concerning the inspiration of some of the stories. Two of the tales are set in the shared worlds of Will Shetterley and Emma Bull's Liavek and Andre Norton's Witch World. Two stories are set in the world of Wrede's own Enchanted Forest Chronicles. Two are retellings, or alternate versions of traditional fairy or folk tales.
