“Tanglewood Tales” is a collection of Greek myths retold by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Originally published in 1853, the book is a sequel to his earlier work, “A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys.” In “Tanglewood Tales,” Hawthorne continues the tradition of adapting classical myths for a younger audience, making them more accessible and engaging for children.
The stories are set in the idyllic Tanglewood, a magical and enchanting forest, where a group of children gather to listen to the tales told by their host, Eustace Bright. Hawthorne retells well-known myths and legends from Greek mythology, such as the adventures of Theseus, the Minotaur, the story of Midas, Pandora’s Box, and more.
Hawthorne’s writing style is characterized by its elegance and poetic language, which adds a touch of literary sophistication to the stories. While staying faithful to the essence of the original myths, he infuses his own imaginative and moral interpretations, often incorporating lessons and virtues suitable for young readers.
“Tanglewood Tales” is not only a delightful introduction to Greek mythology but also a reflection of Hawthorne’s unique storytelling ability. The book has endured over the years as a classic work for children, appreciated for its timeless tales and Hawthorne’s skillful narrative style.
