What is History Smashers Salem Witch Trials about?

In 1692, fear and suspicion swept through Salem, Massachusetts, as neighbours accused one another of witchcraft. But how much of the story commonly told today is true? This lively, illustrated non-fiction book separates fact from myth, exploring Puritan beliefs, changing communities, prejudice and the real people caught up in the trials. With timelines, photographs, maps and fascinating details, it reveals what happened, why the accusations spread and how this dark episode became part of history.
