(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Bill Farnsworth. Schmidt uses elegant language to retell Hawthorne's story about New Hampshire's Great Stone Face and Ethan, who grows to manhood and fulfills the prophecy associated with the granite outcropping--a local born in the area who resembles the face will be the noblest person of his time. Lush oil paintings, reminiscent of N. C. Wyeth's, beautifully capture the setting.
