This delightful collection of stories for children, written in 1853 by the author of The Scarlet Letter, is a captivating retelling of ancient Greek myths

The reader joins Theseus as he battles to escape the labyrinth and the clutches of the fearsome Minotaur. We accompany Jason and his Argonauts on their perilous quest for the Golden Fleece. Hawthorne also recounts Cadmus' encounter with the terrifying dragons whose teeth, once planted, sprout entire armies. These brilliant stories, among many others, are the adventures that lie in wait in Tanglewood Tales. Hawthorne's writing remains fresh and his stories are still perfect for all inquisitive young readers.
