5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Resource, April 19, 2000

This review is from: Witches And Witch Hunts (Hardcover)

I used this book while writing an essay for my IB American History class, on the social causes for the Salem Witch Craze. I found this book very helpful, with very good information, and very easy to understand. Being wiccan, i also liked the last chapter of the book, explaining modern day witchcraft. This is a wonderful book.

This review is from: Witches and Witch Hunts (Turtleback)

I found this book by Meltzer very informative with a lot of great facts from history. Not only does he tell about many events in history of witch craft, but also shows how they are all connected together. Meltzer is a great author that potrays the way things should be seen at least in his eyes. The book is well formatted with end notes in each chapter and a bibliography at the end of the book. I would recommend this book to someone wanting to know the history aspect of the witch trials. I enjoyed this book throughly and I hope anyone else that reads it does too!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for witchcraft fans!, October 12, 1999

I think this book is great for anyone who is into witchcraft or just history. Just because it's a 9-12 reading level, doesn't mean it's not a good read.
