DOWNLOAD EBOOK“Mary Schweidler, the Amber Witch” is an 1838 novel by Wilhelm Meinhold, originally published in German and translated into English by Lady Duff-Gordon. Initially published as a hoax claiming to be a 17th-century account of witchcraft, Meinhold eventually confessed to the deceit but encountered significant trouble when trying to prove that he actually wrote the book. Set during the Thirty Years War, the plot revolves around the story of a pastor, whose only daughter, Maria, has been accused of practicing witchcraft by a rejected suitor. What follows is a tale of heart-break, jealousy and innocence. Read & Co. Classics is proudly republishing this vintage novel now in a brand new edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Mary Schweidler, the Amber Witch: The Most Interesting Trial for Witchcraft Ever Known; Printed From an Imperfect Manuscript by Her Father Abraham Schweidler, the Pastor of Coserow, in the Island of Usedom Since he sprang from an ancient noble family, as he says on several occasions, it is possible that some particulars relating to the Schweidlers might be discovered in the family records of the seventeenth century which would give a clue to his native country; but I have sought for that name in all the sources of information accessible 'to me, in vain, and am led to suspect that our author, like many of his contem poraries, laid aside his nobility and changed his name when he took holy orders.
