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, 'The Penguin Book of Witches' is a treasury of historical accounts of accused witches that sheds light on the reality behind the legends.
Katherine Howe (editor), the direct descendant of three accused Salem witches, is the New York Times bestselling author of the novels The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane, The Daughters of Temperance Hobbs, and The House of Velvet and Glass, as well as the young adult novels Conversion and The Appearance of Annie van Sinderen. She lives with her family in New England and New York City.
