THE SCARLET LET
TER is written by the firm
hand of a master, guided by
the characteristic and vivid
imagination of a great author.
The shadow of a former day
takes the reader by the hand
and leads him back to the
early days of a New England
town; amid the scenes of an
English-American colony, the
reader is made familiar with
the quaint conditions of Puri-
tan life. Through the lines
one hears the cry of anguish
and the laugh of JOY and sees
the scenes as they unfold in
sunshine and in shadow.
Those who have read this
fascinating story, years ago,
will be glad to read it once
more, while thousands, both
old and young, who have
never had that pleasure, will
be glad to read it now.
Begun August 80. Back
