A review by papi
The Great Stone Face by Nathaniel Hawthorne

5.0

Another short story that was one of my favorites as a child. I think I first found it in a book of short stories that also included The Selfish Giant. I think I must have read it a couple of dozen times before I left home for good, and probably that many times again during my adulthood. It is a good reminder of qualities that are essential in any right-thinking person - humility, wisdom, service, and so forth.
