The Thirteenth Member, first published in 1971, could be considered
a 'cross-over' novel between the historical and fantasy genres. The
subject matter is witchcraft and witch-hunts, which continued in
Scotland far beyond the rest of Britain, with the last prosecution
in Scotland in 1727. Mollie Hunter's work includes contemporary
fiction for children and young adults, historical fiction and
fantasy. Many critics regard her writing in the fantasy genre as
her strongest and most influential. With its roots in recorded
historical events and with the subject matter relating to the
supernatural - again a major pre-occupation of Scottish Literature
in general - the novel acts as a bridging text between these two
major genres in the Scottish corpus. Moreover, it is one of the
strongest and most unified of all Hunter's works in that it works
well at both the realistic and symbolic levels, while still
managing to incorporate themes of witchcraft, the supernatural,
political intrigue, dishonesty, entrapment and love. This reprint
includes an Afterword by Maureen Farrell.
