"The reign of terror that swept Salem Village in 1692 is still the most celebrated of all witch hunts." Born in Massachusetts - author Marion Starkey - has published an authentic historical narrative. The dialogue is from actual trial records.

Informative. I found the first of the book interesting and the latter almost boring.
