About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Golden Scarecrow by Hugh Walpole. Read by Cynthia Moyer. Toying with the distinctions between reader and narrator, author and character, imagination and perception, Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole's The Golden Scarecrow, in nine chapters, presents nine stories of nine children, united by location, more or less. A tenth story of a tenth life, divided into Prologue and Epilogue, provides a different sort of unity. These gentle and horrible tales of the weird may seem suitable for young readers, then again, they may not. (Summary by Cynthia Moyer)
