Salem Witch Trials

Salem Witch Trials by Lori Lee Wilson is a fantastic book that informs yet entertains the reader. It has so many facts and real stories that are animated in your head. The court stories swim into you, making you wonder how so many women and men could be accused of such a thing. Their own children even testified against them! The history of witchcraft is such a fascinating thing, knowing that so long ago, people were worshipping so joyously and freely. I would recommend this book to everyone that wants to know more about our nation's history of the witch trials!

A Great Witchtrial Book

I would recommend this book because its contents are very factual. The information is supported by facts and has good bibliographic information. This book would be a great research tool for a person who wasn't knowledgable on the trials and the events that led up to them.

Useful Research Tool!!!

This book had a lot of factual information about the witch trials and the happenings that led up to them. The book reflects on the beliefs of magic and the religious impact on witchcraft. I would recommend this book for someone who wasn't knowlegeable on witchcraft and how it carries on to modern day.

It gives you a very good sense of the time period.

It is very useful if you are looking for a research book, but sometimes can stray of the topic.
