Further Adventures of Doctor Syn

The novel is a highly episodic series of adventures as Syn, in his guise as the Scarecrow outwits the king's agents and keeps his band of Dymchurch smugglers out of prison.

"A likable rascal with much courage and a pretty wit," according to the Western Mail, "his escapades make enthralling reading."

Although another critic found the adventures "naive", The Observer embraced the fantastical plot as deeply enjoyable.
