Hoff, Joan & Marian Yeates, - The Cooper's Wife Is Missing: the trials of Bridget Cleary.

NY, Basic Books, (2000). 1st ptg. VG PB. In 1893 the partially burned body of 28 yr old Bridget Cleary was found ina shallow grave near her cottage in County Tipperary. Ireland. For 9 days before her death Bridget was subjected to a "fairy trial" in an attempt to exorcise the "fairy changeling" that family members & half the town believed inhabited her body. The authors reconstruct the events of this pagan ritual and map the effect of Bridget's trial on political aspirations of an Ireland teetering on the brink of modernity.
