Grandfather’s Chair<\/strong><\/h3>\n

by Nathaniel Hawthorne<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Description:  When the children beg Grandfather for a story about his chair, he obliges by telling them not just one, but a whole series of stories about it. For Grandfather’s Chair, built in England of sturdy oak with back curiously carved and topped with the likeness of a lion\u2019s head, traveled by ship to New England shores, and thereafter trudges diligently from one scene to another, seeming always to thrust itself in the way, whenever an historical personage happens to be looking around for a seat. As Grandfather recounts the history of the chair from its arrival through Revolutionary times, he shares stories of early American history in a way his listeners are sure to remember.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
