Description
This acclaimed history illuminates the horrifying episode of Salem with visceral clarity, from those who fanned the crisis to satisfy personal vendettas to the four-year-old witch chained to a dank prison wall in darkness till she went mad. Antonia Fraser called it a grisly read and an engrossing one.
