"Twice-Told Tales" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a bundle of short stories from around the mid-1800s that pulls readers into different situations showcasing a range of human experience. The stories touch on morals and complex ideas, plus some have supernatural elements that make you think. One story, "The Gray Champion," takes place in New England when Sir Edmund Andros was a tough ruler. It tells of a strange old man who suddenly appears to stand up to the governor and his army, giving hope to the people who are going through a hard time and are stuck between giving in and fighting for freedom. Stories of resistance and the never-ending spirit of people create the overall effect of Hawthorne's work.
