A Strange Report of Sixe Most Notorious Witches, Who by Their Divelish Practises Murdered Above the Number of the Foure Hundred Small Children, Beside (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781023947053)

"A Strange Report of Sixe Most Notorious Witches" offers a chilling glimpse into the anxieties and beliefs surrounding witchcraft in 17th-century England. This historical account details the alleged crimes of six women accused of murdering over four hundred children through their "divelish practises," alongside other unspecified harms inflicted upon the community.

Published during a period of intense witch hunts, the report reflects the era's profound fear of the supernatural and the widespread belief in the power of witches to inflict harm. It provides valuable insight into the social and cultural contexts that fueled these persecutions. The text serves as a primary source for understanding the history of witchcraft accusations and the societal factors that contributed to them. It remains a compelling read for anyone interested in the history of witchcraft, demonology, and the social history of early modern England.
