Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tanglewood Tales for Girls and Boys, collection of children's stories by Nathaniel Hawthorne, published in 1853. The book comprises six Greek myths that Hawthorne bowdlerized. Written as a sequel to A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys (1851), Tanglewood Tales is more serious than its lighthearted predecessor. The tales are "The Minotaur," "The Pygmies," "The Dragon's Teeth," "Circe's Palace," "The Pomegranate Seeds," and "The Golden Fleece." Because Hawthorne considered the original myths to be impure and inappropriate for his readership, he altered such stories as the seduction of Ariadne by Theseus and the abduction of Persephone by Pluto.
