Mist Over Pendle

1951, Robert Neill

4.2/5

This is one of my favorite books of all time and I have read it many times. I was of course influenced to a certain extent because the story is set in Lancashire, England where I hail from. The story is based on true facts regarding witch trials in the 1600s in Lancashire and there are several books written about this subject. This book is esentially a historical fiction including original names of the witches and certain prominent names from that time. Another book called, "The Lancashire Witches", written by Harrison Ainsworth is a more terrifyingly fantastic book based on the same facts but "Mist over Pendle" takes a more believable and explanable stance on the 'witch powers', includes a look into Lancashire life, fashions, religion at that time and adds a touch of romance, mystery, and intrigue. Well worth the read if you enjoy spotlessly clean romance and history.
