Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live...

Witchcraft has come to the peaceful village near St. Frideswide, and its foul touch is striking down those closest to the church. Can Dame Frevisse thwart the servants of the devil before the hellfire of hysteria sears the souls of the faithful? Or is there more to this magic than meets the eye? The truth can only be found in the Witch's Tale.

(The Witch's Tale is part of the Margaret Frazer's Tales series of short stories.)

Nowhere in the description of this book is it mentioned that this is a short story, not a full novel. I was sorely disappointed to have paid $2.99 for half-an-hour of reading. The story itself is good, and could have been easily fleshed out to a full novel.

I love Margaret Frazer's books and look forward to each new publication, but I agree. We should have been told before purchase that this was a short story.

Like the other reviewers, I agree that it should be stated more obviously that this is a short story, not a novel. And at that, it was not a very original story. I usually like Frazer's books but I was disappointed with this purchase.
