This illustration dates to the early 1900s and shows the House of the Seven Gables in Salem Massachusetts. The caption reads: A rusty wooden house, with seven acutely-peaked gables, facing towards various points of the compass...and an elm-tree of wide circumference, rooted before the door. Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) was an American novelist and short story writer. His Wonder-Book and Tanglewood Tales are children's classics. He also wrote The Scarlet Letter, Blithedale Romance, The House of Seven Gables, The Marble Faun. With his superb creation of dark-hued atmosphere, his symbolism, and his blend of realistic detail and romantic-even melodramatic theme, Hawthorne stands as one of America's top novelists.
