Written earlier in the 1800's, Nathaniel Hawthorne relates a fictionalised account of a supposedly actual happening over a century prior - during the dark days of Salem's history.  Quaint language with a lot of biographical detail isn't what the modern reader often appreciates, but accept it, and the sad life-history of "a fallen woman" comes to life.  Of particular interest to students of history or literature perhaps rather than the casual reader.
