    The Pendle Witches England 1600's 
    Book 3 of 7 Elizabeth Device 
    The books are fictionally based on the true names and part facts of seven of the accused witches involved being sentenced to death mostly, although innocent, and is as follows: 
    Elizabeth Device, a struggling widow in 1600s Lancashire, fought to protect her family after her daughter Alizon was accused of cursing a peddler. As whispers of witchcraft grew, Elizabeth's world collapsed—her mother, Old Demdike, died in prison, and her son James spoke recklessly of spirits. A family gathering at Malkin Tower was twisted into tales of a witches' sabbath by fearful neighbors. The final blow came when Elizabeth's nine-year-old daughter Jennet, likely coerced, testified against her in court, describing imaginary familiars and curses. Despite a spectral dog's offer of freedom in exchange for Jennet's life, Elizabeth refused to betray her child, even as the noose tightened around her neck. On August 20, 1612, she was hanged at Lancaster Castle, her dying words a curse not on Jennet, but on the injustice that turned daughter against mother. Her story endures as a haunting reminder of the Pendle witch trials' cruellest betrayal.  
    This is the third book in a series of seven audiobooks and it's only $3. 
    I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes plus, called Haunting Elegy, uses flute and harp to set the scene of witches living life as they could. The closing music ends in a sad way, called Melancholy same instrumental at nearly 3 minutes as the fate that befalls these innocent people awaits them. 
    The story itself runs to about 14 minutes, narrated in my own voice. 
    I do hope you and enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    In this volume our authors take on War, the destroyer of humanity.  Our literary masters bring the true scale of the horror in sometimes tiny fragments of peoples lives to reveal its true and deep-felt effects.
