Book Description
A young fellow, a tobacco-pedler by trade, was on his way from Morristown, where he had dealt largely with the deacon of the Shaker settlement, to the village of Parker's Falls, on Salmon River. He had a neat little cart painted green, with a box of cigars depicted on each side-panel, and an Indian chief holding a pipe and a golden tobacco-stalk on the rear. The pedler drove a smart little mare and was a young man of excellent character, keen at a bargain, but none the worse liked by the Yankees, who, as I have heard them say, would rather be shaved with a sharp razor than a dull one.

Book Description
Nathaniel Hawthorne has impressed many literary critics and influenced many authors over time. He became famous early in his career and his fame has endured. In Hawthorne Illustrated, master pen & ink illustrator Marc Johnson-Pencook interprets three of Nathaniel Hawthorne's best stories: "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment", "Mr. Higginbotham's Catastrophe", and "Feathertop". Here's a few of the many renowned authors and literary critics who have praised Hawthorne and his stories: Edgar Allan Poe, World Famous Author & Literary Critic --- Mr. Higginbotham's Catastrophe is vividly original and managed most dexterously. Dr. Heidegger's Experiment is exceedingly well imagined, and executed with surpassing ability. The artist breathes in every line of it. In the way of objection we have scarcely a word to say of Hawthorne's tales?beyond trivial exceptions we have really none to make. The style is purity itself. Force abounds. High imagination gleams from every page. Mr. Hawthorne is a man of the truest genius.Harold Bloom, Distinguished Literary Critic --- Hawthorne's highest achievement is not in "The Scarlet Letter" and "The Marble Faun", distinguished as they are, but in the best of his tales and sketches. My personal favorite among all Hawthorne tales is his last, the extraordinary "Feathertop". It is Hawthorne's ultimate legacy.Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Famous American Poet --- Hawthorne's stories, though in prose, are written nevertheless by a poet. He looks upon all things in the spirit of love, and with lively sympathies. His stories come from the hand of a man of genius.Flannery O'Connor, Iconic American Author --- My opinion of Hawthorne is that he was a very great author indeed?I feel more kinship with him than any other American. Henry James, Author, 3-time Nobel Prize Nominee --- Hawthorne was a beautiful, natural, original genius. His work will remain; it is too original and exquisite to pass away; among the men of imagination he will always have his niche. He combined in a singular degree the spontaneity of the imagination with a haunting care for moral problems. In the field of American letters, Hawthorne is the most valuable example of the American genius.

Book Description
This carefully crafted ebook: "The Complete Short Stories of Nathaniel Hawthorne (Illustrated)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Excerpts: "I am afraid this ghost story will bear a very faded aspect when transferred to paper. Whatever effect it had on you, or whatever charm it retains in your memory, is, perhaps, to be attributed to the favorable circumstances under which it was originally told." (The Ghost of Doctor Harris) American novelist and short story writer Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864) published his first work, a novel titled Fanshawe, in 1828; he later tried to suppress it, feeling it was not equal to the standard of his later work. He published several short stories in various periodicals, which he collected in 1837 as Twice-Told Tales. Much of Hawthorne's writing centres on New England, many works featuring moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered to be part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, Dark romanticism. His themes often centre on the inherent evil and sin of humanity, and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity.
