Book Description
Excerpt from The Lancashire Witches, Vol. 3 of 3: A Romance of Pendle Forest After seeing Richard depart on his perilous mission to Malkin Tower, Mistress Nutter retired to her own chamber, and held long and anxious self-communion. The course of her thoughts may be gathered from the terrible revelations made by Mother Demdike to Alizon. A prey to the most agonising emotions, it may be questioned if she could have endured greater torment if her heart had been consumed by living fire, as in the punishment assigned to the damned in the fabled halls of Eblis. For the first time, remorse assailed her, and she felt compunction for the evil she had committed. The whole of her dark career passed in review before her.

Book Description
On 20 August 1612, ten people from Pendle were executed before a vast crowd at Lancaster's Gallows Hill. The condemned and their associates had endured six months of accusations, imprisonment and torture; their treatment was such that one of the group died in Lancaster Castle's dungeons, while awaiting trial. Today, a thriving tourism industry exists in and around Pendle, the former home of the so-called witches, yet virtually everything we know about the case originates from a single source: Thomas Potts' Wonderfull Discoverie of Witches, hurriedly published in 1613 and distinctly skewed in favour of the prosecution. Until now... Sunday Times bestselling author Carol Ann Lee brings an entirely fresh perspective to the story by approaching it as true crime. Having worked in the genre for more than a decade, her research leads to revelatory discoveries, transforming our knowledge of those shadowy figures behind ill-famed names, and the terrible events that befell them. After four centuries of superstition and surmise, the two central, warring families - each headed by a fiercely independent widow working as 'cunning women' - emerge fully formed, as the book uncovers the reality of their lives and their alleged crimes before exploring the trial and executions. Along the way, we uncover the truth behind some of the story's most enduring mysteries: the legend of Malkin Tower and the final resting place of the Pendle witches. This is a ground-breaking book that will take the reader on a spellbinding journey into the dark heart of England's largest and most notorious witch trial.

Excerpt from The Lancashire Witches, a Romance of Pendle Forest, Vol. 1 of 3: In Three Volumes Dreary was the prospect on all sides. Black moor, bleak fell, straggling forest, intersected with sullen streams as black as ink, with here and there a small tarn, or moss-pool, with waters Of the same hue-these consti tuted the chief features of the scene. The whole district was barren, and thinly-populated. Of towns only Clithero, Colne, and Burnley - the latter little more than a village - were in view. In the valleys there were a few hamlets and scattered cottages, and on the uplands an occasional booth, as the hut Of the herdsman was termed; but of more important mansions, there were only six, as Merlay, Twistleton, Alcancoats, Saxfeld, Ightenhill, and Gawthorpe. The vaccaries for the cattle, Of which the herdsmen had the care, and the lawnds, or parks within the forest, appertaining to some of the halls before mentioned, Offered the only evidences of cultivation. All else was heathy waste, morass, and wood. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
