The Book of
Dark & Twisted Folklore Stories
from Around the World
A beautifully presented hardcover collection of folklore stories of legendary and historical witches from all over the world, with over 80 stunning, spooky illustrations. The perfect gift for the witchy people in your life.
A journey through the moonlit night
We invite you on a journey where every shadow tells a tale of witchcraft, persecution and persistence. In this beautifully illustrated volume, discover witches real and legendary, who once cursed, inspired, helped or empowered their communities, but who are now largely forgotten.
More than 80 stunning, spooky illustrations
The Book of Forgotten Witches introduces ten different categories of witches, from curse-bringers, shape-shifters and survivors to revenants, nature witches and fate-turners. Most, but far from all, are women, and their stories come from across the world.
Where to buy the book
The Book of Forgotten Witches will be released in the UK on 3rd September and in North America on 10th September 2024. Available in hardback and e-book by Watkins Publishing and in audiobook by Dreamscape Publishing.
