A very happy book birthday to Fiona Benson's Midden Witch - our Summer Choice!
Midden Witch is a fabulist masterpiece, full of feminism and folklore, herbals and hedge-magic. Fiona writes with an astute eye, and such incantatory beauty, about the natural world and historic mistreatment of women, artists, healers and outcasts, throughout history. Exploring archival accounts of witchcraft from Durham to Exeter, this is a dark, eclectic spell-book that witnesses the end-days of magic.
