{"product_id":"9781789465839","title":"Something wicked","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn 20 August 1612, ten people from Pendle were executed before a vast crowd at Lancaster's Gallows Hill. The condemned and their associates had endured six months of accusations, imprisonment and torture; their treatment was such that one of the group died in Lancaster Castle's dungeons, while awaiting trial. Today, a thriving tourism industry exists in and around Pendle, the former home of the so-called witches, yet virtually everything we know about the case originates from a single source: Thomas Potts' 'Wonderfull Discoverie of Witches', hurriedly published in 1613 and distinctly skewed in favour of the prosecution. Now, Carol Ann Lee brings a fresh perspective to the story by approaching it as true crime. Her research leads to revelatory discoveries, transforming our knowledge of those shadowy figures behind ill-famed names, and the terrible events that befell them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Blake Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Lee, Carol \/ Ann","offer_id":53576652783989,"sku":"9781789465839","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5334\/6096\/files\/9781789465839.jpg?v=1728055233","url":"https:\/\/goldenharebooks.live\/products\/9781789465839","provider":"Golden Hare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
