Twice-Told Tales is a short story collection in two volumes by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The stories had all been previously published in magazines and annuals, hence the name. After the success of The Scarlet Letter in 1850, Twice-Told Tales was reissued with the help of new publisher. In a new preface, Hawthorne wrote that the stories "may be understood and felt by anybody, who will give himself the trouble to read it, and will take up the book in a proper mood."

Nathaniel Hawthorne
(born Nathaniel Hathorne; July 4, 1804 – May 19, 1864) was an American novelist and short story writer. Much of Hawthorne's writing centers on New England, many works featuring moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, dark romanticism. His themes often center on the inherent evil and sin of humanity, and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity. His published works include novels, short stories, and a biography of his friend Franklin Pierce.
