## About this item

Sussex witches get the real story in Witchcraft in Sussex, a paperback history by Christopher Horlock. The book looks at who they were and what they did day to day, not just their supposed crimes. It suits anyone curious about the county's past.

Its 96 pages carry 100 illustrations, so the evidence is shown as well as told. Witch jars and wax effigies reveal how the county saw their skills. Susannah Stacey of East Chiltington, a herbalist, didn't fit the cauldron caricature. Old tales, like witches turning into hares, are told sceptically.

Doreen Valiente, 'The Queen of Modern Witchcraft', is honoured by the first blue plaque to the occult, on her Brighton home. The book also covers the emergence of the Wicca faith and the witch trials in the county. Start reading Witchcraft in Sussex and meet the county's witches for yourself.
