"The Whole History of Grandfather's Chair" is a work written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, first published in 1841. It's a historical and educational book intended for children, detailing the history of New England from its earliest settlement through the Revolutionary War. The narrative is framed as a grandfather narrating the history of the region to his grandchildren while they sit on his old, antique chair, hence the title.

The book is divided into three parts:

1. "The First Settlers and the Indian Chief": This section recounts the arrival of the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower, their encounters with the Native Americans, and the founding of Plymouth Colony.

2. "The Lady Arbella and Sir Harry Vane": This part discusses the establishment of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, focusing on key figures such as John Winthrop, Anne Hutchinson, and Roger Williams.

3. "The Quakers and the Charter Oak": The final section covers the founding of Connecticut, the persecution of Quakers, and the events leading up to the American Revolution, including the story of the Charter Oak.

Through these historical tales, Hawthorne provides young readers with an engaging and informative introduction to the early history of New England. The book combines elements of history, folklore, and moral lessons, making it both entertaining and educational. "The Whole History of Grandfather's Chair" reflects Hawthorne's interest in American history and his skill as a storyteller.

Summary
GRANDFATHER had been sitting in his old arm-chair all that pleasant afternoon, while the children were pursuing their various sports far off or near at hand, Sometimes you would have said, “Grandfather is asleep;” hut still, even when his eyes were closed, his thoughts were with the young people, playing among the flowers and shrubbery of the garden.
He heard the voice of Laurence, who had taken possession of a heap of decayed branches which the gardener had lopped from the fruit-trees, and was building a little hut for his cousin Clara and himself.
