About “The Shadow of Doctor Syn”
The Reverend Doctor Christopher Syn is the smuggler hero of a series of novels by Russell Thorndike. The story idea draws from legendary coastal smuggling in the 18th century around Romney Marsh, where brandy and tobacco were clandestinely brought in from France to evade taxation. The region saw frequent nighttime confrontations between smuggling gangs and forces of His Majesty's Customs and Excise, supported by the British Army, Royal Navy, and local militias in South Kent and Sussex.
