A Wonder Book for Girls and Boys
Author: Nathaniel Hawthorne; Publisher:
Six legends of Greek mythology, retold for children by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Included are The Gorgon's Head, The Golden Touch, The Paradise of Children, The Three Golden Apples, The Miraculous Pitcher, and The Chimaera. In 1838, Hawthorne suggested to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow that they collaborate on a story for children based on the legend of the Pandora's Box, but this never materialized. He wrote A Wonder Book between April and July 1851, adapting six legends most freely from Charles Anton's A Classical Dictionary (1842). He set out deliberately to modernize the stories, freeing them from what he called cold moonshine and using a romantic, readable style that was criticized by adults but proved universally popular with children. With full-color illustrations throughout by Arthur Rackham.

The Marble Faun or the Romance of Monte Beni Vol 2
Author: Nathaniel Hawthorne; Publisher: Kessinger Publishing
That is not the way with this kind of death! exclaimed Donatello, in a low, horrorstricken voice, which grew higher and more full of emotion as he proceeded. Imagine a fellow creature, --breathing now, and looking you in the face, --and now tumbling down, down, down, with a long shriek wavering after him, all the way! He does not leave his life in the air!

The Scarlet Letter
Author: Nathaniel Hawthorne; Publisher: Barnes & Noble Books-Imports
Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter is a dark tale of love, crime, and revenge set in colonial New England. It revolves around a forbidden act of passion that alters the lives of three members of a Puritan community: Hester Prynne, who is forced to wear the letter A, bears the punishment of her sin in humble silence; the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale, a respected minister who is tormented by hidden guilt; and the malevolent Roger Chillingworth, Hester's vengeful husband. The Scarlet Letter explores the nature of sin, guilt, and penitence, the clash between our private and public selves, and the spiritual and psychological cost of living outside society. Constructed with the elegance of a Greek tragedy, The Scarlet Letter brilliantly illuminates the truth that lies deep within the human heart. Nancy Stade is trained as a lawyer and has worked in the federal government and the private sector. She currently lives in Mexico, where she is working on a novel.
