**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

Predating the Salem witch trials by decades—though linked by ideology and, in some cases, by ancestry—these trials began in southeastern England and the Scottish Lowlands in the early 1640s and spread rapidly through Britain. From the bestselling author of Witchcraft, the captivating, compassionate account of a moral panic that swept across Britain during the English Civil War, leaving hundreds of so-called witches dead in its wake. Fueled by religiosity, misogyny, and the economic stresses of war, the trials soon grew into a mass panic that transformed the nation—and led to the deaths of over three hundred people during a ten-year span. Moving across England and Scotland, Witchland shows how the chaos and economic deprivation of wartime can exacerbate existing divides within communities, leaving those already without power particularly vulnerable.
