Thirty-nines tales by the consummate and prolific early 19th century American author Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864). Originally published between 1830 and 1852, then reissued as collections of short stories, these tales include twenty-one from "Twice-Told Tales" (1837, 1841), twelve from "Mosses from an Old Manse" (1846, 1854), and six from "The Snow Image and Other Twice-Told Tales" (1851).
