This is my first listen to Hawthorne and it is a different pace and style than any I'm used to and I'm not sure how I like it. I did enjoy very much being brought back into the white mountains. His memories and my own seemed to meld. It is a majestic place to visit. Well read.

A sample of a literary style long gone and never to return to our hurried world. Roger Melin, as always, makes the writing interesting and, perhaps, better than it really is.
Not that great

the reader was fabulous but the stories just weren't very interesting
