Story
(31)

The Druids have been known and discussed for at least 2,400 years, first by Greek writers and later by the Romans, who came in contact with them in Gaul and Britain. According to these sources, they were a learned caste who officiated in religious ceremonies, taught the ancient wisdoms, and were revered as philosophers. But few figures flit so elusively through history, and the Druids remain enigmatic and puzzling to this day.

Story

This collection of narratives, all told by people who were actually part of the American Civil War, was first published in 1885 and was received very well by the public, who caused it to have a further five reprints during the next few years. You'll hear about a number of famous escapades that took place during the Civil War, from a civilian with Unionist sympathies but living in the South, through to the unparalleled locomotive chase that inspired Buster Keaton's all time classic silent movie The General.

Story

"A view into Mathew Hopkins mind"

What did you love best about The Discovery of Witches?

It is rare that a non-academic like me gets a direct view into the mind of one of the most infamous people in English history. This is an excelent reading of what must have been a pamphlet, and I enjoyed it very much, and have listen to it many, many times.

What did you like best about this story?

Mathew Hopkins reasoning. Wacky, but in the seventeenth century mindset, it would have made since.

What does Felbrigg Napoleon Herriot bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I dont know. But his voice sounds authentic, and he fits the book well.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No.
