The Merrybegot casts a powerful spell over its readers. Utterly bewitching. Abi Elphinstone
In a remote west-country village, all is not as it seems. Rumours of bad magic and witchcraft are spreading. The piskies are whispering in the orchard and an ill wind is blowing. The fingers of blame are all pointing to Nell, the cunning woman's granddaughter.
With the Witchfinder General on his way, Nell is alone, trapped, and in fear for her life. Who can she trust? And who will save her?
This amazing story is being reissued with a stunning new cover by Karl James Mountford for a new generation of readers to enjoy.
