Mist over Pendle by Robert Neill

First published in 1951 and never out of favour since, Robert Neill's classic novel remains the best-loved fictional telling of the Pendle story. Through the sharp eyes of young Margery Whittaker, newly arrived at the foot of the hill, it conjures a seventeenth-century Lancashire where the old fear of demons and witches is still part of daily life - and death. The book that sends more visitors up Pendle Hill than any other.
