Description

The Pendle accusations reach trial as Alizon Device and the accused face judgement while old bargains and family curses demand their final price. Spoken as when Book Three still asks whether the gallows ends the witch war or only seals it.

Author

William Harrison Ainsworth (1805–1882) was the great Victorian showman of historical romance — a novelist who filled magazines and bookstalls with highwaymen, witches, Tudor courts, and London underworlds. Rookwood made Dick Turpin a legend; Jack Sheppard turned a thief into a popular hero; The Lancashire Witches brought the Pendle trials back to feverish life.
