A review by danadoesbooks
The Penguin Book of Witches by Katherine Howe

informative fast-paced

3.0

Penguin should really rename this book to The Penguin Book of Witch's Trials. While it was interesting, I thought it was going to be more of an exploration of the evolution of witches or be more like The Penguin Book of Mermaids which explored how different cultures/regions viewed Mermaids. The Witch Book is definitely more grounded in the legal proceedings, not as concerned with fiction, and more concentrated geographically on England and New England.
