Title: Nancy Lives!
Review: The Witch's Tale by Alonzo Deen Cole, ably edited by David S Siegel, is a very entertaining and informative trip back in time to the beginings of horror on American Radio.The introduction really sets the scene for the show and makes one wish that Mr Cole had'nt destroyed any of his recordings of WT! The illustrations are real gems and enable one to put faces to these voices of so long ago..Miriam Wolff's contributions are particularly interesting, in view of the fact the she played old Nancy herself between 1935-1938.The stories themselves are enjoyable and show how deeply Cole was influenced by gothic horror tales and the pulp fiction of his time. Even if one was'nt interested in Old Time Radio, the stories themselves are well worth the price of the book.I would'nt be surprised if Old Nancy herself, bought a copy for her 185th birthday and is reading it out to her cat Satan!
