BR10: The Witches of Pendle

I wasn't a witch; I was a child, nine years old, and I hated my mother and all her friends! (p. 20)

  I read "The Witches of Pendle.  When I hear 'Witch', I recalled a fairy story. But, it is a cruel story, and probably it is a real story. In the past, there were witch hunt and trial. I thought witches are only human. It was accidental for some people to die. Jannet was afraid of her mother and her friends, and people in the village were afraid of her too. So, they wanted some reasons to expel them. The opportunity was just witch hunt! I thought grudge is so terrible.
