Witchcraft by Geddes and Grosset

informative reflective slow-paced

2.0

First half of the book is a fairly informative history of people who were accused of witchcraft. Second half is a glossary. Clearly written by multiple people so repeats itself a lot, and wording varies. Would be okay as a starting point for historical research as gives names that can then be researched separately.
