Description
Posing as a respectable vicar in Dymchurch at the turn of the18th century, Dr. Syn is actually the retired pirate Captain Clegg.Clegg, believed hanged in Rye, is no longer being sought by theauthorities.However, country life proves too tame for Syn, however,and his attention turns to smuggling. He takes on a secretidentity, ôThe Scarecrow,ö and leads a gang of smugglers knownas the Marsh Men. They travel Romney Marsh by night onhorseback, sometimes using mounts painted with phosphorusto give them a spectral appearance, spreading legends ofsupernatural evil and menace.Although a criminal, Syn's appeal is almost Robin-Hoodlike.He uses his ill-gotten gains to help his parish, and the King's Mensent to ferret out him and his men are hardly a sympathetic lot,even though they represent the forces of law. It's little wonderthat Doctor Syn proved a hit among readers of its day.
