The author of the book called 'The Crucible' is Arthur Miller.

The book is set in Salem, a Christian village in 1692-1693 when people, especially women, were accused of witchcraft. This book shows how just a 'white' lie can develop into a bigger lie and can even cause death and corruption.

The main characters are; John Proctor, Elizabeth Proctor and Abigail Williams.

'The Crucible' is based on the true story of Salem in 1692. The play however changed some factors slightly for example, in the play Abigail's age has been slightly risen.
