The History of Witchcraft in England by Wallace Notestein is one of the most comprehensive and definitive books ever written on the topic. The original unabridged version contains over 1700 footnotes. This edition has been edited to remove all footnotes to make a highly entertaining and readable narrative. The unabridged version is also available but at an additional expense due to the size of the volume. For the academic, the unabridged version is worth it's weight in gold as every detail in this book was documented.
