Description

A terrifying, truly authentic anthology of true testimonies about witches, from the Middle Ages in Europe to colonial America.

From a witch-hunting manual written by King James in 1597, to court documents from the Salem witch trials in 1692, and newspaper coverage of a woman stoned to death in the streets of Philadelphia while Congress was in session, the Penguin Book of Witches is a treasure trove of historical testimonies of accused witches that sheds light on the reality behind the legends.

Bringing to life stories such as that of Eunice Cole, who was tried for assaulting a teenager with a stone and buried with a palm on her heart; Jane Jacobs, a Bostonian often accused of witchcraft and taken to court accusing her tormentors of slander; and Increase Mather, a minister who conducted exorcisms famous for his knowledge of witches, this volume offers a unique tour through the darkest history of English and North American witchcraft.
