Witches of the British Isles

Britain has never stopped fearing its witches — and with good reason.

For five hundred years, across the moors of Scotland, the marshes of East Anglia, the ancient hills of Wales, and the wild coasts of Ireland, women were accused, tried, and executed for powers they may or may not have possessed. But behind every trial, every confession extracted by torture, every body left hanging at the gallows, there was something older and far more dangerous than the law could ever contain.

Witches of the British Isles brings together sixteen stories that refuse to stay buried — real women whose lives were destroyed by fear and superstition, legendary figures whose names have survived centuries of retelling, and mythical creatures from the darkest corners of British folklore who were never human to begin with.

This is the history they didn't teach you. The women they tried to erase. The legends that outlived everyone who feared them.

Sixteen stories. Five centuries. One truth: you cannot burn what refuses to die.

Richly illustrated. Meticulously researched. Impossible to forget.
