  <default_description>Here are the best of Hawthorne's short stories. There are twenty-four of them -- not only the most familiar, but also many that are virtually unknown to the average reader. The selection was made by Professor Newton Arvin of Smith College, a recognized authority on Hawthorne and a distinguished literary critic as well. His fine introduction admirably interprets Hawthorne's mind and art.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[It’s unfortunate that most of the work collected in <em>Hawthorne’s Short Stories</em> fails to live up to the towering achievement that is “Young Goodman Brown,” though many do a commendable job when taken on their own terms. The indelible “Ethan Brand” is fantastic, as is “Egotism; or, The Bo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63862631">more...</a>]]></body>
