title: Strange Sight: An Essex Witch Museum Mystery
author:  Syd Moore 
description: "I gleefully submitted to this tale of witchcraft, feminism, mysterious strangers, historical atrocities, plucky heroines and ghastly apparitions  and came away more proud than ever to be an Essex girl. STRANGE MAGIC is the rarest of things: a book which sets out unashamedly to entertain, and does so with wit, style and erudition."--<b> - Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent </b>
