| abstract | - The Doctor Syn series consists of seven books, set in the eighteenth century. They were all written by Russell Thorndike. By day, the Reverend Christopher Syn is a mild-mannered country vicar. By night, the notorious smuggler known only as the Scarecrow leads his ruthless band across the Romney Marsh, easily defeating the authorities' attempts to capture him. Surely the two can't be connected in any way? And then there's the question of the notorious pirate, Clegg. Officially, he was caught and hanged shortly after Syn came to the Marsh. But the truth, of course, isn't so straightforward... The events of the series are set from 1754 to c. 1794.
