Feathertop is a delightful adaptation of Nathaniel Hawthorne's tale "Feathertop: A Moralized Legend." With the first sentence, "On a morning near the end of October, Mother Rigby, one of the most powerful witches in early New England, rose with the sun" the author captivates readers and listeners of all ages. The whimsical illustrations offer details of costume and setting that reflect the life and ambiance of colonial New England in the 1750s.
