Title: A Book for Historians
Review: No, It's not a contemporary dramatic novel, it's a historical fiction written way back in 1848 for goodness sake.Taken for what it is, it's a beautifully written step back in time. Treating the real life trial and execution of the Pendle Witches, one of the most famous coven of witches in history, the book is a fascinating window into the sociology of the times and with the aid of colorful prose helps today's reader imagine a time when witchcraft was a scientific fact.I absolutely recommend it for anyone who wants to wander down haunted lanes of a bogarts glen, with devilish ravens and cackling witches surrounding them on all sides.
