Join Sunday Times bestselling author Carol Ann Lee for a fascinating afternoon exploring one of England’s most notorious true crime cases.In her compelling new book, “Something Wicked”, Carol revisits the infamous Pendle Witch Trials of 1612, when ten people were executed and another died awaiting trial in Lancaster Castle. For over 400 years, the story has been shaped by myth, superstition and a single account written in favour of the prosecution.
Now, approaching the case as true crime, Carol uncovers the real people behind the legends, the feuding families, the so-called ‘cunning women’ and the extraordinary chain of events that led to one of the darkest episodes in English history.
Packed with fresh discoveries and intriguing revelations, “Something Wicked” sheds new light on enduring mysteries, including the truth behind Malkin Tower and the final resting place of the Pendle witches.
The afternoon will feature an interview with Carol, where we really get to the heart of the book, it will be followed by an audience Q&A.
Carol is best known for her acclaimed books including “A Fine Day for Hanging: The Real Ruth Ellis Story”, “One of Your Own: The Life and Death of Myra Hindley”, “The Murders at White House Farm”, and “The Pottery Cottage Murder”, Carol has built a reputation for bringing some of Britain’s darkest and most compelling stories vividly to life.
