Tanglewood Tales: A Wonder Book for Girls and Boys
Hawthorne retells the tale of six famous Greek myths: Circe's Palace, The Dragon's Teeth, The Golden Fleece, The Minotaur, The Pomegranate Seeds, and The Pygmies. Due to Victorian sensibilities, Hawthorne toned down the tales considerably so they would be suitable for children to read.
