About this ebook

Originally published in 1908, "The Book of Witches" is a popular history and overview of witchcraft by Oliver Madox Hueffer (1876 - 1931), a prolific writer and journalist who was renowned for his sexual and other exploits. "The Book of Witches" is not an exhaustive treatise on witches and witchcraft, treated scientifically, historically and so forth.

The author endeavors to produce a picture from which a general impression may be gained. He shows whence the witch came and why, as well as what she was and is; to point out how necessary she is and must be to the happiness of mankind, and how great the responsibility of those who seek to infect others with their skepticism because they do not believe in her.
