First Familiars: The Strange Story of Alice Kyteler
Welcome to The Reading Room, Spooky Lovelies! Imagine being accused of witchcraft because of the cute, little pets you own-- and that cute, little mole on your chin... and several of your spouses dropping dead while in your care. Please find your favorite spot in The Reading Room because tonight, Ms. Merrick has for you, the spellbinding story of the very first familiars, and the first witch in Ireland to be accused of having them in her service, Alice Kyteler. And yes, your familiars are certainly welcome in The Midnight Library!
