Witches And Witch Hunts

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!

This book looks into the supernatural and let's you know we weren't all civilized forever!This book opened my eyes, i never knew that wiccans and their covens could be burned to death!I recamend this book to people who are interested in wiccans and thier history.

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 history of witches and persecution examines not only the usual Salem trials, but witch-hunts from around the world and over the centuries. Milton Meltzer's probe into the truth behind the stories provides a wider-reaching account than most and enhances a recommended portrait of witch perceptions and prosecution around the world.

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.
