What Reviewers Are Saying
CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title for 2009
Short listed for the Katharine Briggs Award 2009
"Bever has done a great service in bringing an extensive and relevant medical literature into witchcraft studies...a book which bravely challenges so many received ideas can only be good for us all." - European History Quarterly
"Bever's book is an exciting and provocative contribution to the study of magic and witchcraft.
