In this classic historical fiction by Pulitzer Prize winner, author, and historian, Esther Forbes (author of Johnny Tremain), an orphaned child (Doll Bilby) is targeted and tried as a witch in Puritan New England. The trauma of witnessing her parent's murder, and being ostracized as an outcast in Puritan society, cause her to believe and accept the witchcraft allegations against her as true. Was Doll Bilby a witch? Or was she merely victim to malicious, fantasy-fueled hysteria? Taking place twenty years before the infamous Salem Witch Trials, this book offers a unique and detailed glance into what it was like to come of age as an alleged witch in the Puritan Massachusetts Bay Colony.
With an introduction on the historical events which inspired this story (including a highlight of the Naumkeag people who lived in the Salem-area), along with footnotes to aid modern readers, this edition of Esther Forbes' A Mirror For Witches makes the classic historical novel enjoyable to a 21st century audience.
