Reviews:

[The Haunted] 'A provocative and splendidly, comprehensively researched new book.' - Laurie Taylor, Thinking Allowed, BBC Radio 4

TLS February 2006 "[Murder, Magic Madness].. acts both as a valuable piece of social history and ... [an] insight into two forgotten but utterly intriguing mid-Victorian lives."

"Witchcraft, Magic and Culture" is liberally peppered with examples illustrating Dr Davies' points and conclusions. The book is written in a pleasant and readable style, though authoritative and thought-provoking. I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone interested in the history of witchcraft, academic or casual reader alike. [submitted by: S L Walker from Hitchin, Herts Amazon]
