The History of Witchcraft and Demonology by Montague Summers
4.0
Montague Summer's book was probably one of the most interesting books I have read thus far in 2019. When I skimmed this book several months ago, I thought I would have some difficulty understanding the text, but as I read through the book it was not as difficult as I had surmised.
As this is the first book I have read concerning the history of witchcraft, I cannot compare this book to anything else I have read. I found Summer's treatment of witches and demonology in the Scriptures and in the dramatics to be very insightful and it has me motivated to read other works of literature that focus specifically on witchcraft.
