Witchcraft of Salem Village | Shirley Jackson

Pickpick

I have always enjoyed Shirley Jackson's writing, and this is no exception. I like the fact that she researched and created a nonfiction work for children about this sad period of American history. Jackson wrote that if the girls had been disciplined, it wouldn't have gotten as bad as it did. I agree, not with corporal punishment, mind you, but something.

This is a great introduction to the Salem Witch Trials. It would make for some really good discussions in sixth grade and possibly some parallels to the present would be made unfortunately.

10/10 illustrations
