Though he is now regarded as one of the masters of American literature, Nathaniel Hawthorne spent a sizable chunk of his peak writing years living in England. This volume collects a series of essays and sketches that Hawthorne penned during his stay abroad. They offer keen insight into the differences between the two cultures and the ultimately illusory nature of the idea of "home."
Widely regarded as one of the most important literary voices of nineteenth-century America, Nathaniel Hawthorne is best known as the author of such novels as The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables. In this collection originally intended for a young-adult audience, Hawthorn ekes instructive moral lessons and fascinating facts from the life stories of prominent figures in history.
Gathered here are master storyteller Nathaniel Hawthorne's delightful retellings for children of six Greek myths, including The Gorgon's Head, The Golden Touch, The Three Golden Apples, The Chimaera, The Miraculous Pitcher, and The Paradise of Children. These stories within a larger story—that of a college student telling the myths to a group of children—will delight young and old.
