The arraignment of the Lancashire witches in the assizes of Lancaster during 1612 is Englands most notorious witch-trial.

They had to be eliminated to set an example to others. In this remarkable & authoritative treatment published to coincide with the 400th anniversary of the case of the Lancashire witches Philip C Almond evokes all the fear drama & paranoia of those volatile times: the bleak story of the storm over Pendle. ...
