Harry Potter meets The Secret Garden in this fantasy novel for 11-13 year olds, about a witch ... who doesn't believe in magic. Thirteen-year-old Annabel Wood wishes her sister, Lottie, would stop making up stories about seeing faeries—especially now the First World War has forced them from their home in London to live at mysterious Morven Manor with an uncle they've never met before. When Lottie insists she hears singing at the strange standing stones on the outskirts of the village, it becomes clear to Annabel the country air has done nothing to stop her sister's overactive imagination. But then Lottie disappears, and Annabel is thrown into a world of magic and witchcraft. With the help of the local baker's boy, his eccentric granny, and a host of magical creatures, Annabel discovers a sinister mystery that only she can unravel—and Lottie's disappearance is just the beginning. 'Reminiscent of The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett—with a touch more magic—this tale swings her gates wide to welcome us. A Witch Forgotten reminds us that through our courageous departures, we may come home.' —L. E. Daniels, author of Serpent's Wake: A Tale for the Bitten & Bram Stoker Awards® Nominee

This book represents the first systematic study of the role of the Devil in English witchcraft pamphlets for the entire period of state-sanctioned witchcraft prosecutions (1563-1735). It provides a rereading of English witchcraft, one which moves away from an older historiography which underplays the role of the Devil in English witchcraft and instead highlights the crucial role that the Devil, often in the form of a familiar spirit, took in English witchcraft belief. One of the key ways in which this book explores the role of the Devil is through emotions. Stories of witches were made up of a complex web of emotionally implicated accusers, victims, witnesses, and supposed perpetrators. They reveal a range of emotional experiences that do not just stem from malefic witchcraft but also, and primarily, from a witch’s links with the Devil. This book, then, has two main objectives. First, to suggest that English witchcraft pamphlets challenge our understanding of English witchcraft as a predominantly non-diabolical crime, and second, to highlight how witchcraft narratives emphasized emotions as the primary motivation for witchcraft acts and accusations.
