Biographical Stories for Children, a family copy

Nathaniel Hawthorne, 1842

HAWTHORNE, Nathaniel (1804-1864). Biographical Stories for Children. Boston: Tappan and Dennet, 1842.



A family copy of Hawthorne's scarce juvenile work, in original cloth. With Hawthorne's aunt's ownership signature to flyleaf ("Rebecca Manning"). Hawthorne's father, Nathaniel Hathorne Sr, married a sister of Robert Manning in 1801. Nathaniel Sr was a sea captain and the Hathornes often struggled financially. Following his father's death of yellow fever, young Nathaniel and his sisters joined the household of their more prosperous Aunt Rebecca and Uncle Robert. Robert Manning became a paternal influence throughout young Hawthorne's life—he would encourage him to attend college and finance his education at Bowdoin—and remained so until his own death the year this book was published. Hawthorne always felt uneasy about being a burden on his uncle and had ambiguous feelings about their relationship. The book also includes the bookplate of the author's grandson, Manning Hawthorne (Julian's son). A scarce title: RBH records only two copies in original cloth in the past 50 years. BAL 7595; Clark A9.1a.



Small octavo (153 x 95mm). Original brown cloth, gilt-stamped spine (spine ends strengthened, 15mm chip near head after title and some wear along joints, covers rubbed). Provenance: Rebecca Manning (ownership inscription) – Manning Hawthorne (bookplate, ownership inscription).
