Marion Gibson Livres

The first complete history of the neglected St Osyth witch-trial, this book tells the compelling, revelatory story of a community ripped asunder. It hauntingly reveals the lost worlds of Elizabethan villagers caught up in persecution, the magistrate who investigated their accusations of witchcraft and the writer who published their story.

A lively and immersive global history of witchcraft which shows its evolution from the Middle Ages to the present day and shines a light on the stories of the victims, told in thirteen trials.
