By Nathaniel Hawthorne
Narrated by Ron Altman
Young Edward Temple, at the age of eight, is afflicted with an ailment that threatens him with permanent blindness. A course of treatment is recommended whereby the boy is kept in a darkened chamber and his eyes, bandaged. To keep Edward's spirits up, his father decides to relate to him the inspiring life stories of six historical personages.
- Benjamin West
- Sir Isacc Newton
- Samuel Johnson
- Oliver Cromwell
- Benjamin Franklin
- Queen Christina
The book demonstrates the engaging style of narrative which is characteristic of Hawthorne's major works.
