Nathaniel Hawthorne, an English writer interested in Greek philosophy, had an opinion that many of the classical myths were capable of being rendered into interesting reads for children. Thus, he compiled a book of 12 stories of Greek mythology with the aim to meet the comprehension of children. The story presented here is a part of the collection.

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.

This is one of the popular Greek myths about Perseus and Medusa. It is adapted here by Nathaniel Hawthorne for children. This story is taken from "A Wonder Book for Girls and Boys." It is a pleasure to publish this new, high quality, and affordable edition of this timeless story.
