- Summary:
- Delve into the beguiling history of witches and uncover a fascinating world laden with myth, magic and superstition. The Story of Witches offers a tantalising insight into the dark past and modern fascination with the occult in its many forms. Demonic and deviant or liberated and revered, witches have cast a compelling spell over the cultural zeitgeist for hundreds of years, often occupying a space at the forefront of art and culture. In this enchantingly illustrated book, Willow Winsham separates fact from fiction by exploring the demonisation and reclamation of witches throughout history.
