The Nathaniel Hawthorne Audio Collection Audiobook Summary
On July 28, 1851, Nathaniel Hawthorne’s wife left their house in Western Massachusetts to visit relatives. Hawthorne and his five-year-old son Julian stayed behind. How father and son got on together for the next three weeks is the subject of Twenty Days with Julian & Little Bunny, by Papa, a tender and funny extract from Hawthorne’s notebooks, perhaps one of the earliest accounts in literature of a father caring for a young child.
Each day starts early and will be given over to swimming and skipping stones, berry picking and subduing armies of thistles. At one point Mr. Herman Melville comes over to enjoy a late night discussion of eternity over cigars.
With an introduction by Paul Auster, this delightful true-life story by a great American writer emerges from obscurity to shine a delightful light upon family life — then and now. The collection also includes Hawthorne’s short stories “Young Goodman Brown,” “The Minister’s Black Veil” and “Rappaccini’s Daughter.”

Thoroughly enjoyed this audio. I enjoyed listening to the little journal and biography of Nathaniel Hawthorne himself. It felt a little like traveling back in time. I also enjoyed the readings of his short stories but was hoping to listen to new short stories that I had not heard of before, even though I enjoyed them.

It was very interesting listening to Hawthorne's journal of his everyday life with his little boy before listening to his short stories. It gave a perspective on his point of view. Hypocrisy abounds in his culture, as it does in ours.
