OverviewThis acclaimed A-Z dictionary is a comprehensive and highly readable guide to the world of witchcraft, revealing the historical reality behind the popular stereotypes of old hags, broomsticks and black cats.

A first-class source book for the historian, folklorist and casual reader alike, it shows in vivid and bloody detail how witchcraft hysteria swept the western world in the post-medieval period and has continued to resurface into modern times.
