Chilling real-life accounts of witches, from medieval Europe
through colonial America
From a manual for witch hunters written by King James himself in
1597, to court documents from the Salem witch trials of 1692, to
newspaper coverage of a woman stoned to death on the streets of
Philadelphia while the Continental Congress met, "The Penguin Book
of Witches" is a treasury of historical accounts of accused witches
that sheds light on the reality behind the legends. Bringing to
life stories like that of Eunice Cole, tried for attacking a
teenage girl with a rock and buried with a stake through her heart;
Jane Jacobs, a Bostonian so often accused of witchcraft that she
took her tormentors to court on charges of slander; and Increase
Mather, an exorcism-performing minister famed for his knowledge of
witches, this volume provides a unique tour through the darkest
history of English and North American witchcraft, never failing to
horrify, intrigue, and delight.
