The true story of a witchcraft case tried in the port of Rye, Sussex, in 1607-09. The tale has not been published before, probably because the evidence consists of an apparently aimless collection of anecdotes about fairies, buried treasure, and social relations in the town. It was only when the author delved into the pre-history of the case that a story began to emerge.
