I still need to learn where to draw the line on historical fiction book choices for younger children.  I read the summary of "The Witch of Blackbird Pond" that was set in New England during the 17th century, and it deals with different cultural views on women, religion and witchcraft.  My question is, how do you determine what is appropriate for younger children to learn when the culture was so different and out dated?  I agree that the history should in fact be learned, but what age is deemed acceptable?
