潘德尔的巫师英文简介
17世纪的时候，英格兰有许多人相信巫术。巫师可能是一个老太婆，或是一个年轻女子——有时甚至会是一个成年男子或小男孩。不过，巫师通常都是女人。人们都害怕巫师，因为巫师仅凭一句诅咒就能使人丧命。
1612年，在兰开夏郡的潘德尔山附近住着一个名叫詹妮特·迪瓦斯的小女孩。那时她刚9岁，因家里穷时常饿肚子，长得很瘦弱。她缺衣少鞋，有时一连几天吃不上饭。生活着对地她来说十分艰难。
詹妮特的外祖母老德姆代克是一个巫师。她的母亲伊丽莎白和她的姐姐艾丽森也都是巫师。就连她可怜兮兮、傻头傻脑的哥哥詹姆斯也是巫师……不管怎样，村民们是这样认为的。
本书以女主人公詹妮特的口吻来描述一家人的故事。故事从1634年讲起，当时詹妮特被关押在兰开斯特城堡监狱里
译文：
In the 17th century, many people in England believed in witchcraft. A wizard may be an old woman or a young woman - sometimes even an adult man or a little boy. But wizards are usually women. People are afraid of wizards because wizards can kill people with only one curse.
In 1612, near Mount Pandel in Lancashire, there lived a little girl named Jeanette Divas. At that time, she was only nine years old, often hungry because her family was poor, and she grew very thin. She is short of clothes and shoes, and sometimes she can't eat for days at a time. Life is very difficult for her.
Jeanette's grandmother, Old Demdike, was a wizard. Her mother Elizabeth and her sister Alison are also wizards. Even her poor, silly brother James is a wizard... Anyway, villagers think so.
The book describes the family story in the tone of the heroine Jeanette. The story begins in 1634, when Janet was imprisoned in Lancaster Castle Prison.
