About this title

From the Publisher:

Long ago in New England, a powerful witch made a scarecrow named Feathertop out of old scraps and, with a puff of magic, brought him to life. She mischievously sent Feathertop to woo Polly Gookin, and the two fell in love. Could love transform Feathertop from a patchwork of sticks into a real human?

From the Inside Flap:

New England, a powerful witch made a scarecrow from a collection of old scraps. The witch was so pleased with her creation that she decided to bring it to life. With a puff of magic smoke, the scarecrow was transformed into a handsome young man and christened Feathertop. The mischievous witch then sent Feathertop off to woo the beautiful Polly Gookin, and soon Feathertop and Polly were deeply in love. But Feathertop was, after all, merely a patchwork of sticks and witchcraft. Only the magic of love could make him truly human.
