📚 Witches

The idea and the people accused: the trial records, the demonologies, and the modern reconstruction.

Below are the 7 works carrying the subject witches in the Open Library catalogue with the most editions in print. Author and first year are as the record states them; a missing year means the record does not carry one, not that the book is undated. Novels set in the subject are left out, because a list of historical fiction is not a list of history. Where one author dominates the reprint counts, no more than two of their titles appear.
