Description

In 1843, the reporter in the Mona's Herald was incredulous that, in that modern and enlightened age, people in Marown believed in witchcraft. However, a trial for trespass on Ballaharry somehow became a hunt for the person who was bewitching the farmer, John Quine, who was also a preacher, and apparently supported in his endeavours by two other preachers on the jury.

Richmal Crompton is well-known as the writer of the Just William stories, but we hear a Manx translation of her story which, from the dialogue, she set in the rural United States of America.
