The Penguin Book of Witches

From a 1597 manual for witch hunters by King James to court papers from the Salem witch trials, primary source documents provide historical accounts of accused witches from medieval Europe to early-nineteenth century 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, this title offers a treasury of historical accounts of accused witches.
