Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from La Strega and Other Stories La Strega, the Witch: she had been called so these many years, this old and feeble woman who was gathering simples in a meadow by the side of a stream. She had names, her baptismal name, her family name, and the name of her dead husband; dead so long ago in the days of the Fifty-Eight. But no one ever called her any of these. She was only La Strega. Even her church-name of Pià was never heard. People dreaded her, shunned her, despised her; but they sought her always after dark, when they might not be seen by others. They had faith in her magical and sinister powers. She had charms for disease, for accidents, for warts, for tumours, for snake-bites, for many other things; but what she was most famous for in the neighbourhood were her imprecations and her love-charms.
