Review # 1 was written on 2020-10-11 00:00:00 Guilllaume Lalande Helen Duncan, a Scottish medium, was the last woman to be tried for witchcraft in Britain. In 1944!! When she started revealing Allied secrets whilst in a trance, authorities knew they had to do something to stop her. It's a fascinating case and you can see both sides of the story. I didn't totally get on with the author's writing and there were one or two niggles but, overall, Nell's story was put across well.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-07-23 00:00:00 Chet Hurley I enjoyed this book not terribly well written but full of interesting information
