About the author

Nathaniel Hawthorne was a 19th century American novelist and short story writer. He is seen as a key figure in the development of American literature for his tales of the nation's colonial history.

Shortly after graduating from Bowdoin College, Hathorne changed his name to Hawthorne. Hawthorne anonymously published his first work, a novel titled Fanshawe, in 1828. In 1837, he published Twice-Told Tales and became engaged to painter and illustrator Sophia Peabody the next year. He worked at a Custom House and joined a Transcendentalist Utopian community, before marrying Peabody in 1842. The couple moved to The Old Manse in Concord, Massachusetts, later moving to Salem, the Berkshires, then to The Wayside in Concord. The Scarlet Letter was published in 1850, followed by a succession of other novels. A political appointment took Hawthorne and family to Europe before returning to The Wayside in 1860. Hawthorne died on May 19, 1864, leaving behind his wife and their three children.

Much of Hawthorne's writing centers around New England and many feature moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. His work is considered part of the Romantic movement and includes novels, short stories, and a biography of his friend, the United States President Franklin Pierce.

I do plan on getting the regular novel version but since they had this at my library I thought I'd pick it up. It was honestly a very good book and I really enjoyed it. I plan on buying this book and the novel version because of how much I loved it. Nathaniel Hawthorne is a really good writer and I hope he has more works that I can read.

I love Nathaniel Hawthorne and this is such an easy way to help older kids and adults enjoy it as well. The art is amazing and the adaptation is well thought out and hits on all major plot points! I received a free review copy from the publisher in exchange for my honest unedited feedback.
