The Whole History of Grandfather's Chair, by literary great Nathaniel Hawthorne, gives young people a captivating glimpse of life in colonial New England. Search for sunken treasure with Sir William Phips, and grin as Betsy Hull is given her weight in silver on her marriage day. Hold your breath as Governor Hutchinson escapes the wrath of a Boston mob. Sigh as you read of the tragedy of the great Acadian exile. Read of the Salem witch trials, the Boston Massacre, the plague in New England and other momentous events.

Hawthorne was an American novelist, dark romantic, and short story writer. Four children crowd around their grandfather’s chair as he tells them about the Puritan settlers and their descendants who supposedly owned it.We publish the world's books.
