About This Item
Synopsis
Witch Wood is a 1927 novel by John Buchan. It deals with the witchcraft scares of several hundred years ago. It was adapted into a 4-part BBC television series in 1964. It is thought that the inspiration for the location of the novel derived from Kilbucho, an area near Buchan's former home, and that he drew the witchcraft practices depicted within from Margaret Murray.
