About the author
Jennifer Lombardo is the author of The Salem Witch Trials, published by Cavendish Square Publishing in 2020. The book covers the late seventeenth-century Massachusetts trials that led to the execution of twenty people, and it presents the episode as the product of multiple converging factors, including fear, suspicion, political tension, and social anger, rather than any single cause. Aimed at readers seeking a historical rather than supernatural account, the book fits into Cavendish Square's catalogue of accessible nonfiction on documented historical events, written to lay out competing explanations for the trials without settling on one. It is a concise treatment intended for readers new to the subject, more history primer than in-depth scholarly study, and it is Lombardo's principal title in this catalogue.
