Book Details
Nathaniel Hawthorne
"Words -- so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them," Nathaniel Hawthorne once reflected. Hawthorne's own words indeed had an undeniable power. Author ofThe Scarlet Letter and originator of the American short story, Hawthorne left an indelible impression on literature that would influence his fellow writers into the next century.
This title is suitable for children aged 10 to 13 years old. This book, from one of American literature's greatest authors, Nathaniel Hawthorne, offers a selection of Greek myths, retold to make them more accessible for children. It includes: "The Gorgon's Head", "The Three Golden Apples" and "The Paradise of Children", among others. This edition, leatherbound and featuring illustrations by Walter Crane, is sure to make a welcome addition to any home library.
