I will be appearing on C-SPAN 2's Book TV on Sunday, March 14th. The show begins 9:15 PM. I will talk about my book, Witch-Hunt: Mysteries of the Salem Witch Trials with a lively group of 8th graders.

(From BookTV.org) Description: Marc Aronson discusses the Salem Witch Trials with a group of middle schoolers in Huntington, NY. Mr. Aronson asks the students, who are essentially the same age as the accusers in the trials, to consider what they would do if they were in Salem in 1692. He also argues that there are several lessons that can be learned from the trials that are relevant today. The talk was hosted by Barnes & Noble Booksellers.

Search BOOKTV.org for details and for other possible future dates and times.



I will be presenting Witch-Hunt : Mysteries of the Salem Witch Trials in Roslyn, Long Island, on Wednesday, March 17th to 8th and 9th graders.
