Description: This little treasure is an early edition (1910) of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Grandfather’s Chair, the first of three books he wrote in the early 1840s about America’s early history. In it, four children crowd around their grandfather’s chair as he tells them about the Puritan settlers and their descendants who supposedly owned it. This narrative technique is a prime example of Hawthorne’s idea of what he termed “imaginative authority”: the use of invented elements (such as the chair) to interest children in history lessons. Published by A. Flanagan Company, Chicago. There is no stated publication date but this is estimated to be published around 1910. Hardcover in Very Good Vintage Condition. Ships Quickly.
