{"product_id":"the-great-stone-face-nathaniel-hawthorne-9781421806631","title":"The Great Stone Face","description":"THE first three numbers in this collection are tales of the White Hills in New Hampshire. The passages from Sketches from Memory show that Hawthorne had visited the mountains in one of his occasional rambles from home, but there are no entries in his Note Books which give accounts of such a visit. There is, however, among these notes the following interesting paragraph, written in 1840 and clearly foreshadowing The Great Stone Face: 'The semblance of a human face to be formed on the side of a mountain, or in the fracture of a small stone, by a lusus naturae  freak of nature]. The face is an object of curiosity for years or centuries, and by and by a boy is born whose features gradually assume the aspect of that portrait. At some critical juncture the resemblance is found to be perfect. A prophecy may be connected.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nathaniel Hawthorne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1421806630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781421806631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e 1st World Library - Literary Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.38d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e65262 \/ Great Stone Face: A Tale by Nathaniel Hawthorne\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nathaniel Hawthorne","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44064685523199,"sku":"9781421806631","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_01d188e3-0d8f-42bb-a3c9-aa301cfc97dd.jpg?v=1685396947","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-great-stone-face-nathaniel-hawthorne-9781421806631","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
