A Wonder Book Tanglewood Tales And Grandfather S Chair

A two-book compilation by noted American author, Nathaniel Hawthorne, this compilation is a re-writing of well-known Greek myths in a volume for children. The book includes the myths of: Theseus and the Minotaur, Antaeus and the Pygmies, Dragon's Teeth, Circe's Palace, Proserpina, Ceres, Pluto and the Pomegranate Seed, and Jason and the Golden Fleece.

Tales told at the fireside and in the woods, adapting such classical myths as Pandora's Box, Baucis and Philemon, and Perseus and Medusa to the storyteller's gothic or romantic environment.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
