内容简介 Scarlet is the colour of sin, and the letter 'A' stands for 'Adultery'. In the 1600s, in Boston, Massachusetts, love was allowed only between a husband and a wife. A child born outside marriage was a child of sin. Hester Prynne must wear the scarlet letter on her dress for the rest of her life. How can she ever escape from this public shame? What will happen to her child, growing up in the shadow of the scarlet letter? The future holds no joy for Hester Prynne. And what will happen to her sinful lover the father of her child?
作者简介 John Escott started by writing children's books and comic scripts, but now writes and adapts books for students of all ages. He has published for the Oxford Bookworms Factfiles series and the Bookworms Library Series.
