pickThis remarkable, engrossing history of witchcraft and black magic extends from 1800 to 2015. Waters looks at the influence of imperialism and colonial cultures on England against the rise and fall of black arts. It's thoroughly researched and well written throughout.
Highly recommended.
I'm in dire need of some serious distraction from shingles pain.

A night away from home followed by a day off. I could get used to this...
I went overboard at the charity shop's book sale but there was a lot more choice than usual on the English book shelves. I think someone (probably American) must have moved away.
I left all the autobiographies of US politicians and business people and all the romances for others....
Been a long time (life stuff, you get it) but now I am in need of recs!
I'm teaching an English class to international students this summer and I am looking for book/movie/tv recommendations with "typically british" culture suitable for teens.
