"Tanglewood Tales" is a collection of Greek mythology retellings for children written by the American author Nathaniel Hawthorne. The book was first published in 1853 as a follow-up to Hawthorne's earlier work, "A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys," and it continues his tradition of making classical myths accessible and engaging for young readers. In "Tanglewood Tales," Hawthorne adapts well-known Greek myths and stories, including those of Theseus, Perseus, and the Gorgon Medusa, and presents them in a manner that is suitable for children. The book retains Hawthorne's unique narrative style and moral lessons while bringing the adventures and characters of Greek mythology to life. Nathaniel Hawthorne is best known for his literary works for adults, including "The Scarlet Letter" and "The House of the Seven Gables." However, "Tanglewood Tales" and "A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys" are examples of his contributions to children's literature, and they have been enjoyed by generations of young readers as an introduction to the world of classical mythology.
