It go well?

Just spotted this thread at the bottom of the list, and it reminded me, that quite coincidentally I'm reading this old pulpy novel called "Mist Over Pendle" where the Demdike character has recently appeared... Not all that up on the Lancashire Witches, and somehow after finishing this novel (suitable for kids really), I suspect I'll still be no better informed. Care to say more about the eponymous Demdyke?
