Go Home, and Other Hexes | An Absurd Historical Comedy | Free Audiobook

Essex, 1646. The village of Little Dampford has waited all winter for a proper witch, and since Matthew Hopkins’s apprentice is due on Thursday, it would be wasteful not to provide him with one. Unfortunately, Margaret Pye, who just sells eggs, once criticised the vicar’s sermon, and has no influential relatives. She is brought to the village green to be judged as a witch, only to discover that the rival witchfinding societies, a left-handed faction, an uncooperative cat, and many others, cannot agree on the procedure. Then Margaret tells everyone to go home. Her words are perceived as a hex and therefore accepted as the ultimate proof that she is a witch. Listen to Go Home, and Other Hexes, an absurd historical comedy about witchfinding, religious revelation, local government, administrative incompetence, and a cat that refuses to recognise any earthly authority.
