Melissa Walter: What I\u2019m Reading this Summer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starlight<\/em> by Richard Wagamese<\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Discoverie of Witchcraft<\/em> by Reginald Sco<\/strong>t<\/p>\n

16th century advice on how to do magic tricks, insight into the mind of a skeptic who documented witchcraft beliefs.<\/p>\n

How to Read the Bible<\/em> by Richard Holloway<\/strong><\/p>\n
