Summary

The whimsical tale of a witch and an enchanted scarecrow come to life from the otherwise serious author Nathaniel Hawthorne (July 4, 1804 - May 19, 1864), whose themes often center on the inherent evil and sin of humanity. He is best known for The House of the seven Gables and The Scarlet Letter, a story of a proud adulteress sentenced by her stern Puritan judges to wear a scarlet A on her breast, published in 1850. His published works include a biography of his college friend Franklin Pierce, the 14th President of the United States. He died in his sleep in Plymouth, New Hampshire, and four days later he was buried in Concord’s Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, with Longfellow and Emerson among his mourners. Narrator Edward E. French is an Oscar nominee and multiple Emmy Award winner for Special Effects Makeup. Credits at IMDB.com
