*Vintage hardback book, no dust jackets, published in 1949. Some foxing and discoloration due to age. No loose or torn pages. Some stickers and stamps of previous ownership. This historical narrative of the Salem witch trials takes its dialogue from actual trial records but applies modern psychiatric knowledge to the witchcraft hysteria. Starkey's sense of drama also vividly recreates the atmosphere of pity and terror that fostered the evil and suffering of this human tragedy.
