This large collection of short stories (26) is thick with allegory, and implied or explicit supernatural elements. They were mostly enjoyable, though Hawthorne’s cynicism and philosophizing made it a grind at times. Also, reading them one right after the other reveals many of them have a similar plot structure that amounts to a moralizing litany of symbols, and historic or fictional figures. I liked his phrasing, imagination, and appreciation of nature.

Hoary Hawthorne not bad
