Feathertop and the Witchish Trick From An Old Tale
A mixed Victorian era vignette follows Feathertop the crafted scarecrow, brought to life by Mother Rigby’s witchcraft. Feathertop captivates Polly Gookin and alarms Master Gookin, whose fears hint at darker bargains. The tale contrasts human longing with artificial perfection and ends with Feathertop’s rueful self revelation.
