Einaferð var tað ein lítil býur, har fólkini bara góvu sær far um eitt. Tey elskaðu blómur. Men ein dagin helt borgarstjórin eina talu. Beinið blómurnar burtur! Beinið firvaldarnar burtur! Dreymar eru nyttuleysir!

Swiss best seller and modern classic based on the true story of the last woman convicted of witchcraft in Europe. Independent and self-confident, Anna Gö ldin is not what is expected of a servant of her time, and the resentment that her audacity arouses in the upper class of the canton of Glarus ends up being her undoing: when the girl in her care begins spitting out needles, the local authority, judge and party, decides that she is a witch and is sentenced to die. In this modern classic of Swiss literature, Eveline Hasler examines how a conviction for witchcraft, historically known as "the judicial murder of Anna Gö ldin", could have taken place in the heart of Europe during the height of the Enlightenment. A novel that reveals the terror policies of a society obsessed with maintaining control and power at the expense of minorities. A historical testimony of violence against women.

Kindness makes the world go around.Morris and Boris are brothers who look like twins—even down to the small humps on their backs. Morris is kind and helpful to everyone he meets. Boris is impatient and unkind. When Boris refuses to take his turn to go check on their hut in the woods, Morris volunteers to go rather than have an argument. The forest is enchanted: eyes peek out of every bush and rustling can be heard in the leaves. Morris takes care not to disturb or destroy animals and plants. Respecting nature with every step, he makes friends with tendrils, toadstools, and the forest itself. In the dark of the night, the tree spirits and forest witch give him something that he will never forget—they make his hump go away. When Boris sees his transformed brother he runs up the mountain. But instead of having reverence for the creatures around him, Boris tramples carelessly through the forest. Before long, the beings of the magic wood come forth. How will the mushrooms and the tender plant elves react? And what will the forest witch give him? Boris wonders why he has not been treated the same as his kind brother, but when Boris’ own dog recoils in fear from his hand, he realizes he must change his ways.  Eveline Hasler and Käthi Bhend’s classic tale—based on a legend from the Ticino region of Switzerland—is lovingly reprinted and ready for a new generation to enjoy.  “Bhend creates complex, wonderfully animistic landscapes, filled with both accurately rendered natural details, and hidden faces and forms woven into the underbrush.”—Kirkus Reviews

The last witchcraft trial in German-speaking countries was held in 1782 in Eveline Hasler's home canton of Glarus in Switzerland. A servant woman, Anna Goeldin, was accused of having bewitched a child of the physician household in which she worked, making it crippled and spit pins. The accused confessed under torture, was sentenced by the city council and executed. Sources show that the trial provoked great controversy in Europe even at the time. The courts in Glarus were ridiculed and criticized by more enlightened cities in Switzerland and Germany. In her novel with its beautiful simple language, Hasler tells Anna Goeldin's story and trial. With the means of fiction, Hasler attempts to explain how a witchcraft trial could come to take place in the heart of Europe during the heyday of the Enlightenment. The novel was first published in 1982 and also draws parallels to women's fight for equal rights two hundred years later.  This novel is a bestseller in German-speaking countries, has been translated into several languages, and made into a feature film by Gertrud Pinkus. The translation by Mary Bryant has won an Arts and Humanities Initiative Award at the University of Iowa.  Eveline Hasler (born in 1933) was trained as a teacher of History and turned to writing children's books, fiction, and historical fiction. She is the recipient of many awards, among them the Switzerland Award for Juvenile Fiction (1978), Honors by the City of Zurich (1988), Schubart Award (1989), Droste Award (1994), and Justinus Kerner Award (1999).
