Vintage Past is a collection of inventive tales of times gone by, rejacketed in a stunning series style. Hester Prynne is a beautiful young woman, but an outcast. Everyone knows that her daughter, Pearl, is the product of an illicit affair but no one knows the identity of Pearl's father. Hester is forced to wear the sign of her shame sewn onto her clothes: the scarlet letter 'A' for 'Adulteress'.
