The Reverend Doctor Christopher Syn is the smuggler hero of a series of novels by Russell Thorndike.

The first book, Doctor Syn: A Tale of the Romney Marsh was published in 1915.

Mipps escaped in the confusion of Syn's death and disappeared from England, but it is said that a little man very much like him is living out his days in a Buddhist Monastery somewhere in the Malay Peninsula, delighting the monks with recounting the adventures of Doctor Syn and the eerie stories of the Romney Marsh and the mysterious Scarecrow and his night riders.

An expanded version of Doctor Syn Returns titled The Scarecrow Rides was published by The Dial Press in 1935.

This is essentially a reworking of Further Adventures of Doctor Syn with a different conclusion and some conflation and renaming of the supporting characters.

There was also a book adaptation of the Disney theatrical version, titled Doctor Syn, Alias the Scarecrow and written by Vic Crume.

: The first, Doctor Syn ( 1937 ), featured noted actor George Arliss in the title role and was its star's last film.

In the screenplay by Anthony Hinds, the main character's name was changed from Doctor Syn to Parson Blyss to avoid rights problems with Disney's upcoming film version, and Captain Cleggs screenplay follows the novel Doctor Syn and the screenplay of the 1937 film closely with the exception of a tightening of the plot.

In the Arliss movie Doctor Syn, Syn escapes to sea with Mipps and the rest of the Dymchurch smugglers, whereas Captain Clegg ends more faithfully to the novel, with Parson Blyss being killed by the mulatto ( who is then killed by Mipps ) and then being carried to and buried in Captain Clegg's empty grave by Mipps.
