The character we saw on the screen (large and small) is the same person who wrote this book--warm, funny, caring, gentle, family man. A very fun read with lots of information about the shows as well as the family. A joy to read.
I have just started The Witches: Suspicion, Betrayal, and Hysteria in 1692 Salem by Stacy Schiff. I can't find it listed on Goodreads, and when I tried to add it manually, it disappeared immediately after I added it--it had taken me awhile to add, so I'm not going to try again. Not sure I was going to find it interesting since I have gone to Salem and saw reenacted witch trials there, saw the prison the accused were kept in (being hung would have been a relief), taught The Crucible, and read a number of novels and one non-fiction piece about this already. But this non-fiction work starts by explaining the difficulting in digging out what happened from sparse and contradictory records and I find I am already interested. That said, I may read this in four sections just because of the smallness of the print and the fairly dryness of the material.
I went back to Goodreads today (one day after posting the above) and found it--perhaps because I had added it?
