This collection retells classic Greek myths, adapting them for a young audience. "The Three Golden Apples" is based on the myth of the Hesperides and the Golden Apples. Key features of "The Three Golden Apples" Narrative Style: Hawthorne's prose in "The Three Golden Apples" is rich, evocative, and characterized by a fairy-tale-like quality. The language is accessible for young readers while maintaining a sense of enchantment and mystery. Mythological Inspiration: The story draws from Greek mythology, incorporating elements from the myth of Hercules and his quest for the golden apples of the Hesperides. Hawthorne weaves his own imaginative elements into the narrative, making it both a retelling of a classic tale and a unique creation. Characters: The central character in this story is Hercules, the legendary hero of Greek mythology. The narrative introduces readers to other mythical figures, such as Atlas, who holds up the sky, and the Hesperides, nymphs guarding the golden apples. Quest and Adventure: Like many Greek myths, the story revolves around a quest. Hercules embarks on a journey to retrieve the golden apples as part of his Twelve Labors. The challenges he faces and the lessons he learns contribute to the moral and thematic depth of the narrative. Moral and Philosophical Themes: As with much of Hawthorne's work, "The Three Golden Apples" explores moral and philosophical themes. The story delves into the consequences of ambition, the pursuit of knowledge, and the balance between fate and free will. Allegorical Elements: Hawthorne often included allegorical elements in his works, and "The Three Golden Apples" is no exception. The story can be interpreted as a reflection on the human condition, virtue, and the consequences of meddling in divine affairs. Educational and Entertaining: "A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys" was intended to be both educational and entertaining. Hawthorne's retelling of classical myths aimed to introduce young readers to the world of Greek mythology while providing moral and ethical lessons. "The Three Golden Apples" is a captivating and imaginative contribution to children's literature, blending mythology, adventure, and moral reflection in a way that has made it a timeless piece of storytelling for generations.

Download or read book A Wonder Book for Girls Boys written by Nathaniel Hawthorne and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six legends of Greek mythology, retold for children by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Included are The Gorgon's Head, The Golden Touch, The Paradise of Children, The Three Golden Apples, The Miraculous Pitcher, and The Chimaera. In 1838, Hawthorne suggested to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow that they collaborate on a story for children based on the legend of the Pandora's Box, but this never materialized. He wrote A Wonder Book between April and July 1851, adapting six legends most freely from Charles Anton's A Classical Dictionary (1842). He set out deliberately to "modernize" the stories, freeing them from what he called "cold moonshine" and using a romantic, readable style that was criticized by adults but proved universally popular with children. With full-color illustrations throughout by Arthur Rackham.

Book excerpt: Perseus was the son of Danae, who was the daughter of a king. And when Perseus was a very little boy, some wicked people put his mother and himself into a chest, and set them afloat upon the sea. The wind blew freshly, and drove the chest away from the shore, and the uneasy billows tossed it up and down; while Danae clasped her child closely to her bosom, and dreaded that some big wave would dash its foamy crest over them both. The chest sailed on, however, and neither sank nor was upset; until, when night was coming, it floated so near an island that it got entangled in a fisherman's nets, and was drawn out high and dry upon the sand. The island was called Seriphus, and it was reigned over by King Polydectes, who happened to be the fisherman's brother.
