Publisher's Synopsis
Michelet used this historical novel as a thought experiment to trace how the concept of the Witch evolved from the 14th to the 17th century. It sets the stage for Margaret' Murray's God of the Witches and th centuriesee "Old Laws" document in Gerald Gardner's Book of Shadows. You find many unpleasant facts about the lives of the common people in those centuries. Their despair almost led to the revolution.
