It is an excellent book which demonstrates original thinking and wide scholarship, and will be an important addition to works on witchcraft, and particularly to works which students are being encouraged to read.' - Jim Sharpe, University of York 'Not just another account of witch 'persecution', but specific and incisive.' - Dr Marion Gibson, University of Exeter 'This is a well-organized, erudite and admirably lucid account of the 'witch-craze', especially valuable for the way it bridges the medieval and early modern eras.' - Dr Malcolm Gaskill, University of Cambridge Author InformationGARY K.
