Description
The Penguin Book of Witches by Katherine Howe brings to life the darker history of English and North American witchcraft. From medieval Europe to colonial America, this collection of real-life accounts sheds light on the reality behind the legends of witchcraft. The book features stories of those who were accused, tried, and often executed for alleged witchcraft, including a woman stoned to death on the streets of Philadelphia while the Continental Congress met. It also includes accounts of those who fought back against the accusations, such as a Bostonian who took her tormentors to court on charges of slander. With its unique and often chilling stories, The Penguin Book of Witches provides a fascinating glimpse into a period of history that is both fascinating and disturbing.
