This is claimed, by the translator, to be an actual account of a witchcraft trial. Why it appears in the fantasy genre I cannot understand. I read this recently and it proved to be one of those stories that linger in the mind long after one has finished reading it. At the very least it gives one an insight into the supperstitious mind-set prevelant in the 16th cent.As such, I found it to be an excellent read and I have emailed it to a couple of friends.
