The Great Stone Face (The Old Man of the Mountains) juts outfrom the White Mountains of New Hampshire and looms over a smallvillage. An old prophecy states that "someone will be bornhereabouts who will look just like the Great Stone Face, and hewill be the noblest person of his time." Like many others, youngErnest watches the faces of returning famous men for signs of thegentle wisdom seen in the face. The rich merchant, however, isgrasping, the soldier only stern, and the politician--well, apolitician. Ernest, meanwhile, works hard on his farm and is lookedup to by his neighbors for the thoughtful counsel he offers. As hegrows old, people remark that they fear they will never see theprophecy fulfilled. At length, however, noticing Ernest's face,they discover that it was fulfilled long ago. This thoughtful lookat what it means to live a good life is as relevant today as whenfirst written. This collection also includes The Ambitious Guest,The Great Carbuncle, and Sketches from Memory. Newly designed andtypeset for easy reading by Boomer Books.
