June Johns, (1927-1980) author of ‘King of the Witches: The World of Alex Sanders‘ (1969), was a highly respected reporter and writer having worked as staffer on the Daily Mirror and Daily Express before the age of 25. In her son’s words “she was a trained observer and a total sceptic. All things interested her but few influenced her. By the time of her death in 1980, aged just 53, she had written and had published more than a dozen books,” including ‘Black Magic Today‘ (1971).
