' This is a very useful addition to the growing body of data on witchcraft belief in Victorian and Edwardian England, and a further testimony to the great value of newspaper reports as a source for the subject.' -- Professor Ronald Edmund Hutton, historian specialising in early modern Britain, British folklore, pre-Christian religion, modern paganism and author 'Tracey and Mark have written an incredible guide to the rich history of witchcraft in Devon ... history enthusiasts will delight in a captivating exploration of the magical beliefs of yesteryear.' -- Blake Malliway, author of A Witchs Guide to Fetch Work 'This important volume will introduce readers to those figures at worst completely forgotten or at best mentioned briefly. Figures such as The White Witch of Exeter, often approached in the stories of Devon and Cornwall by pellars and layfolk alike, is brought into three dimensional reality by the Normans'. Expertly sourced, elaborated upon, and entertainingly written, Devon's Forgotten Witches promises to reacquaint modern readers to these figures from just over the hill... which it fulfills in leaps and bounds. Simply outstanding.' -- Benjamin Stimpson, folklorist and author of Of Doves and Ravens: The Witches and Wisefolk of Wales and the Borders
