Frances Hill was born in London in 1943 and went to Keele University, Staffordshire, where she obtained a BA Honours degree in English Literature and Philosophy. After travelling in Europe and the U.S. she worked as assistant to the blind journalist T.E.Utley, a leader writer and later deputy editor on The Daily Telegraph, in London's Fleet Street. She then worked for the London Times Educational Supplement, writing about education and social work issues and in 1973 moved to New York to work for the TES as American correspondent. On returning to the UK, she became a free lance journalist while working on her first novel, Out of Bounds. For many years she was the radio critic for the TES as well as a fiction reviewer and obituary writer for The Times and feature writer for many other publications including The Times Higher Education Supplement, The Guardian and The Spectator. Out of Bounds was published by John Murray in 1985 and followed by a second novel, A Fatal Delusion (John Murray), in 1989. In 1992 she began work on her acclaimed account of the Salem witch trials, A Delusion of Satan, which was published by Doubleday in New York in 1995 and Hamish Hamilton in London in 1996. The paperback was published in England by Penguin in 1996 and in the US by da Capo in 1997. A new edition with a new preface appeared in 2002. Her second book on the Salem witch trials, The Salem Witch Trials Reader, was published by da Capo in 2000 and her third book on the same subject, Hunting for Witches, A Visitor’s Guide to the Salem Witch Trials, was published by Commonwealth Editions in 2002. Such Men Are Dangerous, The Fanatics of 1692 and 2004 was published by Upper Access in March 2004. Her novel about the Salem Witch Trials, Deliverance from Evil, was published by Overlook Press in the US and Duckworth in London in 2011. Frances Hill lives in London but visits the U.S. regularly, spending every summer in Connecticut.

    The perfect guide for both understanding the Salem Witch Trials and visiting the many important sites thereof. The beginning quickly explains the key people and events of this sad event, before providing a great guide on how to get around and visit Salem itself.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    I had the common knowledge of the Salem witch trials that almost everyone has when I started with this book, and I wanted to learn more. The book hits the reader with a lot of names very quickly, while giving very few of them any real attention. By the time feuding families have been introduced, I'd lost count of the characters I was supposed to know.

    I wasn't able to finish reading it. I think this would be idea for readers who already have a good understanding of the events, but probably not idea for beginners.

    I found this book on the LAST day of my visit to the Salem area - I quickly had to look up many of the sites I have already visited so I could understand them, and their significants to the witch trials better! Easy to use on location!
