This is the story of a village, not a city, and all the more powerful for that not all big fantasy needs an urban setting. PRAISE FOR Paul Cornell's THE WITCHES OF LYCHFORD Judith Mawson (local crank) knows the truth - that Lychford lies on the boundary between two worlds, and that the destruction of the border will open wide the gateways to malevolent beings beyond imagination.īut if she is to have her voice heard, she's going to need the assistance of some unlikely allies. Some welcome the employment opportunities, while some object to the modernization of the local environment. A supermarket wants to build a major branch on their border. The villagers in the sleepy hamlet of Lychford are divided.
