Nathaniel Hawthorne presents a multilayered story consisting of six
Greek myths that are told from a unique perspective and appeals to
all readers, specifically children. His writing style transcends
age to deliver a family-friendly narrative. A Wonder-Book for Girls
and Boys is a compilation of classic stories inspired by Greek
mythology. Hawthorne's interpretation is filtered through the
fictional character, Eustace Bright, a college student who's
entertaining a group of children. The book features "The Gorgon's
Head," a popular epic that follows Perseus and his quest to slay
Medusa. There's also "The Paradise of Children," a cautionary tale
about Pandora's box, and "The Golden Touch," which recalls the
story of King Midas. Originally published in 1851, A Wonder-Book
for Girls and Boys continues to stand the test of time. Its stories
are literary staples that have been adapted for multiple mediums.
The collection also produced the sequel, Tanglewood Tales, which
was released in 1853. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of A Wonder-Book
for Girls and Boys is both modern and readable.
