It is a re-writing of well-known Greek myths in a volume for children.Overview: The book includes the myths of: Theseus and the Minotaur (Chapter: The Minotaur)Antaeus and the Pygmies (Chapter: The Pygmies)Dragon\'s Teeth (Chapter: The Dragon\'s Teeth)Circe\'s Palace (Chapter: Circe\'s Palace)Proserpina, Ceres, Pluto, and the Pomegranate Seed (Chapter: The Pomegranate Seed)Jason and the Golden Fleece (Chapter: The Golden Fleece)Hawthorne wrote introduction, titled The Wayside, referring to The Wayside in Concord, where he lived from 1852 until his death. In the introduction, Hawthorne writes about a visit from his young friend Eustace Bright, who requested a sequel to A Wonder-Book, which impelled him to write the Tales. Although Hawthorne informs us in the introduction that these stories were also later retold by Cousin Eustace, the frame stories of A Wonder-Book have been abandoned.Hawthorne wrote the first book while renting a small cottage in the Berkshires, a vacation area for industrialists during the Gilded Age. The owner of the cottage, a railroad baron, renamed the cottage Tanglewood in honor of the book written there. Later, a nearby mansion was renamed Tanglewood, where outdoor classical concerts were held, which became a Berkshire summer tradition. Ironically, Hawthorne hated living in the Berkshires.The Tanglewood neighborhood of Houston was named after the book. The book was a favorite of Mary Catherine Farrington, the daughter of Tanglewood developer William Farrington. It reportedly inspired the name of the thickly wooded Tanglewood Island in the state of Washington............Nathaniel Hawthorne ( born Nathaniel Hathorne; July 4, 1804 - May 19, 1864) was an American novelist, dark romantic, and short story writer.He was born in 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts to Nathaniel Hathorne and the former Elizabeth Clarke Manning.
