"It separates centuries of supernatural nonsense from documented fact spellbinding."—Los Angeles Times

For nearly thirty years, Jeffrey B. Russell''s authoritative book has been the one illustrated history to which anyone interested in this subject could turn with confidence. Now, in collaboration with Brooks Alexander, who has himself conducted innovative research in the field, this classic book has been fully revised, with an updated introduction and bibliography, new information throughout, and an extended account of witchcraft from ancient times to the present day.
