NEW BOOK CHIMING INTO THE CURRENT INTEREST IN ESSEX WITCHES - THIS TIME AT ST OSYTH

Interestingly (for me, anyway) is the new book linked to Essex and the sad tales of witchcraft and the poor women, who in the 17th century, were accused, hunted, tortured and, in many cases, murdered. They had done nothing to deserve this treatment and I spent several years studying this sad aspect of our Essex history and my book Folklore of Essex published by The History Press in 2005 describes much of the dreadful time linked to the Witchfinder General.

There are, of course, many other fascinating aspects linked to the study of superstitions and history of this extraordinary county.  Check out details of some of my books, particularly Folklore of Essex ISBN 0-7524-3677-5 from Waterstones, W H Smith and all good bookstores (particularly those in Brentwood)!
