The Witch Report

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Black-cloaked riders of the night; brides of Satan - some of the images that spring to mind when thinking of witches.
Were the witches of old really clinging to the vestiges of a long-forgotten pagan religion, or persecuted because the world was afraid of powerful women? Roald Dahl ,
Lady Antonia Fraser and Keith Thomas are among those who tell Jenny Cuffe why the figure of the witch still has such a hold on the imagination of both children and adults.
