Mrs Jackson Rides Out

       Set in the Northern town of Grimsdyke, this tells how Sally, an ordinary English woman, finds herself stumbling over witches in an area where there have been supernatural goings-on for centuries. Meeting two extraordinary individuals in an Earth mysteries group who, unknown to her, are running a coven, she agrees to a naked initiation ritual at the hands of one of them, an unemployed Father of Nine. To his astonishment, she undergoes a transformation and takes the whole thing seriously, embarking on a magical career which she expects him to share. Their adventures are told in a fast-paced, hilarious style which will have you helpless on the floor in no time! 

       The author, a white witch living in the shadow of Pendle Hill, legendary home of witches, has written this in the form of 57 carefully crafted short stories, each of which can be read independently, but which, taken as a whole, form a continuous narrative, with intriguing side-roads and byways into past life experiences. Ms Murfin-Shaw is arguably one of the best writers in English today, and the funniest, most irreverent. Don't read this unless you share her searing honesty and dedicated search for the truth. She is unshockable. See that you are too.

An uproarious romp, a tantalising mixture of witchcraft, sex and humour in the cold Northern hills -

just the thing for a wet weekend in Wigan . . .
