The Anatomy of a Minotaur

The Anatomy of a Minotaur is a book by the theoretical magician Charles Hether-Gray[54].

The work is recommended as a suitable foundation for the study of magic — superior even to Ormskirk — by Mr Segundus to Jonathan Strange, although Segundus's friend Mr Honeyfoot disparages it as "thick-headed nonsense" [23].

Notes

The title is curious — there having been, insofar as we know, only one Minotaur, which was slain long ago by the hero Theseus. Minotaurs after all are not so common as Guernsey-cows, for all Mr Hether-Gray has to say on the matter.
