First Edition, 1933. Scarce. Hardcover. 495 pages, with Appendices and Index. Illustrated, with a fold-out overview and timeline of The Lancashire Witches. Author C. L’Estrange Ewen presents \"a detailed and scholarly examination of the historical records of witch trials and beliefs in demonic possession, primarily in England. Drawing extensively from court documents, confessions, and contemporary writings, Ewen provides a rigorous account of how accusations of witchcraft were prosecuted and how deeply embedded the fear of demonic influence was in early modern society. The book seeks to demystify the sensationalism surrounding witchcraft by focusing on documented cases, offering insight into the legal, religious, and social contexts that fueled centuries of persecution. Ewen’s work remains a significant reference for historians and researchers interested in the intersection of law, folklore, and superstition during the witch-hunting era\" [Moons Rare Books].
