Kate Foster: Based on a True Story

Witch mania has reached sixteenth century Scotland. And so has a new royal bride. Princess Anne is betrothed to King James VI and arrives in a land of magic and danger. The King’s Witches brings the past to life with vivid detail and tense thrills. Kate Foster – who is longlisted for this year’s Women’s Prize for her previous work, The Maiden (set in Corstorphine) – is in conversation with Sally Magnusson as they discuss the history of women, witches, and kings in Scotland.
