Explore the history of the witch trials in Connecticut, which
predated the witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts, by nearly fifty
years.
In The Discovery of Witches, Matthew Hopkins - the Witch Finder
General of England during the early 1600s - details the process by
which he found and captured suspected witches. Hopkins' treatise is
comprised of answers to various queries he had received by members
of the public curious about his investigatory techniques in finding
witches. This book answers a total of fourteen queries, with
replies ranging from a few sentences to a few paragraphs in length.
The book is an illustrative portrayal of a society fervently given
to superstitions about the powers of witchcraft. At three hundred
women killed, the efforts of Hopkins and his assistant John Stearne
were prolific. Accorded status, Hopkins encountered opposition to
his witch finding. That his 'investigations' required scant
evidence to secure death sentences dismayed figures in the Church
of England. Today, historians judge Hopkins as an opportunist who
took advantage of unfounded suspicions to advance his own fame.

rested.Present day As a love affair comes to an end, and with it
her dreams for her future, artist Selena needs a retreat. The

before Selena hears the past whispering to her. Sloe Cottage is
keeping secrets which refuse to stay hidden. 1682 Grace Cotter

Content enough with her work on the farm, looking after her father,
and learning the secrets of her grandmother Bett's healing hands,
nevertheless Grace still hopes for love. But these are dangerous
times for dreamers, and rumours and gossip can be deadly. One
mis-move and Grace's fate looks set... Separated by three hundred
years, two women are drawn together by a home bathed in blood and
magic. Grace Cotter's spirit needs to rest, and only Selena can
help her now. USA Today bestselling author Judy Leigh writing as

for Elena Collins: 'A profoundly moving, beautifully written and
emotional story that skilfully combines two time frames into one
unputdownable book. I was completely immersed in Grace's story from

In short a wonderful book by a fabulous author, very highly
recommended.' Louise Douglas
