About The Author

Hilda Lewis

Hilda Lewis (1896-1974) was a prolific author of historical fiction. She ranked The Witch and the Priest (1956), based on the real-life case of the Witches of Belvoir, as her own favourite among her many novels. In creating this masterpiece of frightening historical fiction, Lewis conducted extensive research on the case and on early works of witchcraft and demonology, resulting in a novel that is both blood-chillingly readable and historically accurate.
