Summary "The Hawthorne: A Christmas and New Year's Present" by Eliza Leslie is a collection of short stories written in the mid-19th century. The book, aimed at a young audience, encompasses various moral tales that reflect themes of family, responsibility, and personal growth, often through the experiences of children like Frederick Ormsby and his sister Madeline. At the start of the narrative, the Ormsby family embarks on an excursion to West Point, where young Frederick's mischievous behavior sets the stage for a series of events that test familial bonds and individual character. Frederick proves to be a source of trouble and anxiety, especially for his sister, showcasing a contrast between innocence and the lessons of morality he learns throughout their adventures. The opening effectively establishes the dynamics within the family and hints at the moral undertones that will be explored in the tales that follow. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
