AbstractHistoryArchive Description
The narrator hears in 1880 the English tale of Barbara Conwail (1670-1730) executed for witchcraft during a plague epidemic. He determines to try out the legend of the witch's favour and goes to the graveyard at midnight where he feels the touch of her hand and receives a ring. Good fortune then smiles on him but only two years later when he meets the woman he loves does he discover she was a human witch. Interestingly written. (PB)
