A romantic, tremendously moving melodrama, The Scarlet Letter traces the effects of one sin on the lives of four people: the young, passionate Hester Prynne, who wears her shame for the world to see; her lover, the cowardly Reverend Dimmesdale; her vengeful, aging husband, Roger Chillingworth and her daughter, the loveable little Pearl. Set during New England's harsh Puritain Era, Nathanial Hawthorne's stark tragedy of shame and redemption explores the eternal conflict between mind and heart, and the disastrous consequences of hidden guilt. P. Craig Russell's adaptation and Jill Thompson'sd masterful paintings bring to life these tragic characters and their colonial world. Prestige format, full color 48 pages on glossy paper with a $3.75 cover price.
