I'm recreating an old character of mine because I always found her fascinating, but this time I'll approach different stories in a different way.

Introducing the strange parentage of Janie Cobweb.

You might call it a strange birth, but I'm not qualified to comment

The first year in Janie Cobweb's life comes to an end with the promise of something nasty in the near future

Jed Cobweb seeks out the local Witchfinder in order to report Janie's mother as a witch

After conflicting denouncements at a time when punishment for witchcraft was dire, a victim is selected

The morning after the witch burning, everyone is uncharacteristically quiet...

A decade on and... another witch...

Before the villagers get their captured Priest to the burning field the Bishop turns up, filled with fury.

Lost in the great forest and needing a helping hand, Janie bumps into her father.
