Doll Bilby is an outcast in the rigid town of Cowan Corners near Salem, Massachusetts. Orphaned after her parents were executed as witches, Doll is suspected of witchcraft by her adopted mother and the townspeople due to a series of unfortunate events. Esther Forbes's hauntingly beautiful 1928 novel, set during one of the darkest chapters of American history, explores the witch hysteria that gripped seventeenth-century New England. An enthralling tale of magic, betrayal, love, and deception, the novel delves into the destructive power of superstitions and allegations.
Mirror for Witches masterfully intertwines historical accuracy with psychological insight, capturing the paranoia and fear that permeated Puritan society around the Salem witch trials.
Esther Forbes was an American novelist and historian. Her biography of Paul Revere, Paul Revere and the World He Lived In, won the Pulitzer Prize in History in 1943, and her children's book, Johnny Tremain, won the Newbery Award in 1944.
