Mary Sharratts Daughters of the Witching Hill, is a vivid and wrenching novel based on the true events of the Pendle witch-hunt of 1612. On sale from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt on April 7, 2010!
Im descended from the Pendle Witches ! Iv just found out after doing my family tree ! I lived in Rochdale for 5 years and developed a MASSIVE LANCASHIRE ACCENT !
I was raised in the shadow of Pendle Hill (on a dairy farm, in Bashall Eaves, near Clitheroe). A good friend claimed that I was not born, but brewed in a cauldron on Pendle Hill, so the Pendle Witches are a part of my life--unfortunate wise people, misunderstood by most. I now live in the USA (Texas), but my heart is on Pendle Hill.
thank you for posting,i was taken to the hill aged 8,i returned aged 40 last halloween and i love the place,i did not feel any fear but i am completely drawn to the place,there is something very special there,i get a similar feeling in glastonbury.
excellent video. I had the opportunity last winter to read Daughters of the Witching Hill as an ARC, and have been fascinated with the story ever since.It is a story that will "stick to your ribs".the tortures that demdyke,alizon,chattox,james.anne and the rest suffered is written in such a poignant fashion ,that you can almost feel the chill mist that they walked through to the prison. thank you for the video.
The Pendle Witch Story is Not the most important tale about this Hill there is a far far more important one...
