Dr. Syn, Alias The Scarecrow (1975) Novelization


Who was THE SCARECROW?

Was the country parson, Dr. Syn, really the leader of a band of smugglers? John Banks, the judge's son, knew for sure. But he was sworn to secrecy, just like all the "Gentlemen" who were helping the poor of England pay the taxes of the king.

Follow the exciting adventures of Doctor Syn alias THE SCARECROW in a super book based on the Walt Disney movie.

*********************

This does a reasonable job of conveying the somewhat complex story of the 1963 Disney film DR. SYN, ALIAS THE SCARECROW. That film ran 98 minutes. An alternate 129 minute version ran on the weekly Magical World of Disney as "The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh". Not having seen the shorter theatrical version, I can say that this novelization matches the Television version pretty closely.
