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."
