Jane Amanda --
The two books of Owen Davies's both relate to England.
One is specifically on Somerset, entitled "A People
Bewitched"; the other has one of those compendium
titles, something like "Witchcraft, Magic and
Superstition in England, 1550-1736" or similar, and
was published by Manchester University Press. I should
think both would be listed in the bibliography to his
more recent book on Cunning Men, which you're reading.
