Publisher's Summary
In a sleepy, little New England village stands a dark, weather-beaten, many-gabled house.

Musty documents nestle behind hidden panels carrying the secret of the family’s salvation - or its downfall.
Hawthorne called The House of the Seven Gables a “romance” and freely bestowed upon it many fascinating Gothic touches.
