Can a creature of straw and vanity truly possess a human heart? In a lonely, smoke-filled hovel in Puritan New England, the witch Mother Rigby decides to play a wicked trick on society. Using a pumpkin for a head, a tattered suit of clothes, and a plume of feathertop grass for flair, she fashions a magnificent scarecrow. Then, with a puff of her enchanted tobacco pipe, she brings the handsome figure to life. Named "Lord Feathertop," the enchanted creature is sent into the nearby village to woo the beautiful daughter of a wealthy and prominent magistrate. This story is a dark, dazzling, and humorous moral allegory, showcasing Hawthorne's deep skepticism of both Puritan hypocrisy and the superficiality of the American gentry. In this dark fantasy, you'll discover that a scarecrow wearing fine clothes may be more honest than the society that welcomes him.
