Inside this book you will meet some of the North Riding's more notorious witches. All of these women actually lived, but whether they could really cast spells or fly about on broomsticks we cannot say. What is important though is that their neighbours believed they could, and the tales of their antics, passed down through the generations, are still with us today. Michael Wray has collected together 13 of the best of these stories, and reworked them in an accessible and humorous style, whilst illustrator Anne Marshall has illuminated the text with her beautiful wood cuts.
