Summaries
Add a SummaryWhen 9-year-old Betty Parris and 11-year-old Abigail Williams began to twist and turn in the home of the Reverend Samuel Parris there was only one possible reason for it: witchcraft. And why not? This was Salem, Massachusetts where the Puritan populace knew anything was possible. What they didn’t know was that the afflicted girls would be joined by fellow accusers and launch the town, and even parts of the state, into a series of witch trials the land of America had never seen before. Rosalyn Schanzer tells it like it is, recounting many of the details, giving information on what happened to all the players when the dust settled and things got back to normal. Notes, a Bibliography, an Index, and a Note From the Author explaining how she abridged, updated, and clarified some of the original texts follow at the end.

Add a CommentNicely done non-fiction--reads more like a chapter book. One much appreciated feature was that it clearly differentiated between people of similar names--sometimes a little repetitive, but useful.
The cover? Enticing. The subject? Not off-putting. The overall presentation? Enthralling.
I have not read it yet, but i think it will be awesome!
