Dr Syn anyone?

Has anyone ever read any of the Dr Syn books by Russell Thorndike? As a kid I enjoyed the Disney -Scarecrow of Romney Marsh and have thought about trying to track down some of the hardback reprints. Is it worth my time & money?
BTW, for those interested I've read that Disney will release the DVD this year.

Well Piedro, I'll try to give the the Reader's Digest version. In 1915 British actor & author Russell Thorndike released the 1st of 8 books using Dr Syn as the main character. The last of his books was put out in 1944. The movie that Disney put out in '63 was based on this character with Patrick McGoohan as Reverend Christopher Syn alais The Scarecrow. As a 7 year old I was glued to the television and was just wondering if the books are as good as I hope?
