Great for the scholars out there
This book is a fascinating read for those interested in the history of witchcraft and the darker side of peoples nature. This is not, however, a book for those who are looking for spells. I would have given this book 5 stars but sometimes the text is difficult to follow. Montague Summers should be praised for his in depth research into a subject area which is still fairly taboo even now 50 years after the witchcraft act has been repealed.
All in all an excellent reference guide.

good read
An interesting read, don't buy it if you want spells though, this book is more about the history of witchcraft. Sometimes a bit of a difficult read though. would recommend though.
