Witchcraft and early colonial America have always been some of my favorite topics for book, have been since I was in elementary school and probably will be until the day I die. If there was ever a way to travel back to a particular period in time and place on earth, colonial America would be it for me.

The Witch of Blackbird Pond has always been one of my favorite books. I read it for the first time in third or fourth grade, and I accidentally booknapped its paperbacked self from my classroom. It became my own once I realized that it would be far too embarrassing to go back ten years later, and say, “Oh, I accidentally took this when I was in your class, but here it is back! I’m really sorry, bye!” Not to mention the front cover had begun to fall off, as it is a fairly old book. Since then, the back cover has come off, and the spine is looking pretty sad.
