I recently read a (fictional) book about the Pendle witches (Daughters of the Witching Hill by Mary Sharratt, for anyone with a reading habit to rival my own,) and it made me think, is historical fiction as interesting as historical fact? I have to confess to loving both - I am both a reader and a researcher after all.
For anyone interested in the true and very strange story of the Pendle witches - there's good background information here about the Pendle witch trials, which, after all, came before the famous trials at Salem.
