Book
Witchcraft : a graphic history : stories of wise women, healers and magic / text by Lindsay Squire ; illustrations by Lisa Salsi ; edited by Balthazar Pagani ; screenplay adaptation by Michele Botton ; translation by Edward Fortes.
"Biddy Early, who lived from 1798-1874 in Ireland, was by no means the first-ever witch, but she was the first to appear on the historical record. Before her, fears and superstitions surrounding practitioners of 'the nameless art' were too strong. It is said that Biddy took an apprenticeship with the 'good folk', sidhe or faeries, when she was very young, and it was from them that she learned her skill as a healer. Never one to accept monetary payment for the help she offered, Biddy would often swap home-brewed alcohol for her services, which in turn made her ramshackle cottage in Feakle a hub for the local community. When her little corner of the county drew the attention of the Catholic Church and the local authorities, things became very difficult for this unusual woman...." --Provided by publisher.
