![]() ![]() ![]() Norton moves beyond the immediate vicinity of Salem to demonstrate how the Indian wars on the Maine frontier in the last quarter of that century stunned the collective mindset of northeastern New England and convinced virtually everyone that they were in the devil's snare. She explores the role of gossip and delves into the question of why women and girls under the age of twenty-five, who were the most active accusers and who would normally be ignored by male magistrates, were suddenly given absolute credence. She shows how the situation spiraled out of control following a cascade of accusations beginning in mid-April. Describing the situation from a seventeenth-century perspective, Norton examines the crucial turning points, the accusers, the confessors, the judges, and the accused, among whom were thirty-eight men. ![]() Mary Beth Norton gives us a unique account of the events at Salem, helping us to understand them as they were understood by those who lived through the frenzy. Seventeen months later, after legal action had been taken against 144 people, 20 of them put to death, the ignominious Salem witchcraft trials finally came to an end.

![]() 1 Robinson Crusoe was not born a children’s story but was made one by virtue of its sometimes surprising articulation with ideas that were crystallizing around children in the period: how they should be educated, what their relation to their parents should be, and how they were coming to embody, symbolically, both the promise of the future and a longing for the innocence of the past. ![]() That arguably the most influential and enduring work of fiction in the canon of children’s literature, Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe (1719), should be a story primarily concerning a solitary man on a deserted island and originally intended for an adult readership is in many ways a peculiar phenomenon. ![]() ![]() The Wreck of the Mary Rose 4: Back to Life The hull of the Mary Rose was raised on 11 October 1982.

Provided to YouTube by The Orchard EnterprisesBury Me Beneath The Willow Wrecked with uncertainty, self doubt, and overwhelming love, Thomas does the unthinkable. She promises to love him forever, her feelings for him will never change but Thomas is unsure. Keziah refuses to get help and instead, convinces Thomas to bury her. She survives but Thomas has a hard time coming to terms with the supernatural. Thomas's love of his life, Keziah, is bitten by a vampire. Because this is a short story, it's really hard to write anything about it without giving the whole plot away, but I will attempt to do so (that is, not give anything away). Gemma Farrow has a style that draws you in, not allowing your eyes to leave the words despite the fact that you know what this is about, what's happening, that this is all about one thing only. We see love at its best, and love is what cost Thomas his sanity, his beliefs, and his humanity. ![]() ![]() Ezra Miller, Katherine Waterston, Alison Sudol, Dan Fogler, Victoria Yeates, Jessica Williams, Callum Turner, and Richard Coyle also star.
