"The Magical Adventures of Mary Parish is a gripping read that I found hard to put down. Mary Parish's remarkable story provides a fascinating window into the rough and tumble world of love and life, healers and treasure hunters, alchemy and the world of fairies in seventeenth-century London. As she weaves together the many strands of Mary's life, Frances Timbers displays an evenhanded compassion for her subjects that helps the reader view even the most fantastical elements of Mary's story within the context of her world. In Timbers's hands, the mixture of Mary's often gritty and difficult life and her adventures in the occult and supernatural realms creates a tale that rivals even the finest magical realism novels of our day."
--Eric W. Nelson, author of The Legacy of Iconoclasm
..".Timbers's account is an important stepping stone to a better understanding of the mystical culture of the 17th century as well as of this fascinating and talented woman."
--D. Harms, Choice Reviews
"The newest addition to the outstanding 'Early Modern Studies Series' from Truman State University Press, The Magical Adventures of Mary Parish: The Occult World of Seventeenth-Century London is an outstanding contribution to academic library 17th Century British Spiritualism and Metaphysical Studies reference collections. Enhanced with the inclusion of historical illustrations, an informative Prologue, and a thirteen page Index, it should be noted for academia and the non-specialist general reader with an interest in the history of Western Metaphysics."
--Margaret Lane, Midwest Book Review
