The Scarecrow; or The Glass of Truth: A Tragedy of the Ludicrous by Percy MacKaye
"The Scarecrow; or The Glass of Truth: A Tragedy of the Ludicrous" by Percy MacKaye is a play written in 1908. Based on Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Feathertop," it tells the story of a scarecrow brought to life by a witch and the Devil to seduce a young woman as revenge against her uncle. But the scarecrow develops genuine feelings of his own. When a magical mirror reveals his true nature, he must choose
between his artificial existence and something far more meaningful. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
