No one understands fun like Felder Rushing. Invite him into your garden, and that boring old bird-scarer becomes a figure of mystery and power, a folk art masterpiece, and the best time you'll have all summer.

-- Thomas Christopher, Gardening columnist for House & Garden

"Felder Rushing is one of America's horticultural gems. His book, Scarecrows, is a wonderful blend of fact, folklore, and fun."
