Description
Eight watchers stood vigilant on Pendle Hill, their gaze sweeping across the landscape. One observer took in the castled heights of Clithero, the woody eminences of Bowland, the bleak ridges of Thornley, the broad moors of Bleasdale, the Trough of Bolland, and Wolf Crag, even the black fells overhanging Lancaster. Another watched the stream called Pendle Water, tracing its course from its source through the leafless forest until it merged with the Calder, and flowed on to wash the base of Whalley Abbey. The watchers' survey did not stop there. Their gaze extended far beyond the immediate surroundings, taking in the varied terrain of Lancashire. This is a tale of the supernatural, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Yorkshire Dales and the Pennine hills. William Harrison Ainsworth's 19th-century novel is a gripping and atmospheric story that explores the darker side of rural life in northern England.
