description: The Last Witch of Dogtown is a rollicking historical novel that takes place in the now-abandoned settlement at the center of Gloucester, Massachusetts. Blessington skillfully weaves together the historic characters of Gloucester's earliest residents with the imaginary character of an unsuccessful clergyman. This is a fantastic story that shows a different side of early American colonial life. We find that not all early New Englanders were Puritans. Blessington, a Ph.D. in English literature, gives his characters a coarse and quaint language, and places them in incredible moral and economic dilemmas. Their struggles and actions make for fine reading.
