The Lancashire Witches - A Romance Of Pendle Forest

This early work by William H. Ainsworth was originally published in 1849 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Based on the true account of a famous witchcraft trial in 17th century Lancashire. Considered a classic of historical fiction the moment it was serialized in The Sunday Times, The Lancashire Witches is the only of Ainsworth's novel to have remained constantly in print since it's publication.
