Book Description
"Dickon," cried Mother Rigby, "a coal for my pipe!"The pipe was in the old dame's mouth when she said these words. She had thrust it there after filling it with tobacco, but without stooping to light it at the hearth, where indeed there was no appearance of a fire having been kindled that morning. Forthwith, however, as soon as the order was given, there was an intense red glow out of the bowl of the pipe, and a whiff of smoke came from Mother Rigby's lips. Whence the coal came, and how brought thither by an invisible hand, I have never been able to discover."Good!" quoth Mother Rigby, with a nod of her head. "Thank ye, Dickon! And now for making this scarecrow. Be within call, Dickon, in case I need you again."The good woman had risen thus early (for as yet it was scarcely sunrise) in order to set about making a scarecrow, which she intended to put in the middle of her corn-patch. It was now the latter week of May, and the crows and blackbirds had already discovered the little, green, rolledup leaf of the Indian corn just peeping out of the soil. She was determined, therefore, to contrive as lifelike a scarecrow as ever was seen, and to finish it immediately, from top to toe, so that it should begin its sentinel's duty that very morning. Now Mother Rigby (as everybody must have heard) was one of the most cunning and potent witches in New England, and might, with very little trouble, have made a scarecrow ugly enough to frighten the minister himself. But on this occasion, as she had awakened in an uncommonly pleasant humor, and was further dulcified by her pipe tobacco, she resolved to produce something fine, beautiful, and splendid, rather than hideous and horrible.

Book Description
Nathaniel Hawthorne's 'The Village Uncle' is a captivating short story that is part of his iconic collection 'Twice Told Tales'. The story delves into the complexities of human nature and societal expectations in a New England village. Hawthorne's signature gothic style and use of symbolism create a hauntingly beautiful narrative that explores the themes of sin, guilt, and redemption. Through rich descriptions and intricate character development, Hawthorne transports the reader into a world where the line between good and evil is blurred. 'The Village Uncle' is a prime example of Hawthorne's mastery of psychological depth and moral introspection. As a renowned American novelist and short story writer, Nathaniel Hawthorne drew inspiration from his Puritan roots and the historical legacy of New England. His own struggles with guilt and redemption are reflected in his works, making him a leading figure in American literature. Hawthorne's exploration of sin and its consequences resonates with readers to this day, leaving a lasting impact on the literary world. I highly recommend 'The Village Uncle' to readers who appreciate thought-provoking narratives and enjoy exploring the complexities of human nature. Hawthorne's evocative storytelling and profound insights make this short story a timeless classic worth experiencing.

Pages : 26
Book Description
Life figures itself to me as a festal or funereal procession. All of us have our places, and are to move onward under the direction of the Chief Marshal. The grand difficulty results from the invariably mistaken principles on which the deputy marshals seek to arrange this immense concourse of people, so much more numerous than those that train their interminable length through streets and highways in times of political excitement.
