- Surrounded by the aura of magic, witches have captured our imagination for
millennia and fascinate us now more than ever. No longer confined to the image
of a hexing old crone, witches can be kindly healers and protectors, tough
modern urban heroines, holders of forbidden knowledge, sweetly domestic
spellcasters, darkly domineering, sexy enchantresses, ancient sorceresses,
modern Wiccans, empowered or persecuted, possessors of supernatural abilities
that can be used for good or evil - or perhaps only perceived as such.
Welcome to the world of witchery in many guises: wicked, wild, and
wonderful!
A collection of short stories features witches as main characters and contains works by such prominent authors as Neil Gaiman, Jane Yolen, Madeleine L'Engle, and Ursula K. Le Guin.
