The biggest of all British witch trials. The mass, all-female campaign to free the accused.

A. D. Bergin talks about his break-out historical thriller The Wicked Of The Earth, the appalling true history, blending fact and fiction, the uncomfortable contemporary resonance of the events of the great Newcastle witch trial of 1650, the power of women fighting back, and how Berwick made the modern world.
