THIS FEARFUL THING
A new novel has just been published detailing the little- known story of Ann Camell of Southwold, who, in 1645 was accused of bewitching a sailor, William Whitton.
‘This Fearful Thing’ by Reydon author L M West is extensively researched and tells the sometimes harrowing story of a woman accused of witchcraft, not once, but three times and her fight to survive. Ann was the wife of Thomas Camell, whose family once owned what is now Sutherland House in Southwold High Street and the novel is set very much in Southwold and the surrounding landscape as it may have been 400 years ago.
‘This Fearful Thing’ is available on Amazon as a paperback at £8.99 and Kindle version at £2.99 and also from Halesworth Book Shop, Southwold Books, Aldeburgh Bookshop, Beccles Books and Browsers Books, Woodbridge.
