The Snow Image Nathaniel Hawthorne

The Snow Image is a large collection of short stories by the American author Nathaniel Hawthorne. Two brothers, named Violet and Peony, create a snow girl who magically comes to life, but begins to melt when her father without much imagination insists that she is real and takes her inside. We feature the Hawthorne story in our collections, Winter Sports Stories and Stories for Kids.
