Witches I Have Known: Book 1 by Lark Preyapongpisan
Please contact 23 Sandy for current availability.
Letterpress printed and case bound with hand made paper covers, one of the passages in this intriguing little pop-up book reads:
“Frustrated or bored she sold her soul
to Satan for the eccentric luxury of
transforming herself into a blue boat.
(why blue one wonders…)”
Lark tells us this is, "a simple little book about an ancestor named Mary Bradbury. She was convicted of being a witch during the Salem Hysteria. Despite being condemned she escaped burning. This is the family's version of what happened."
