A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys

Children's Corner Critical Editions

"The ideal of happiness of many American children is to lose themselves in A Wonder-Book.” Henry James

In 1851, many decades before Percy Jackson and his fellow demi-gods and heroes conquered popular culture in the twenty first century, Nathaniel Hawthorne delighted young readers with A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys - the first book of Greek mythology retold for children. In this groundbreaking new edition, Hawthorne’s tales of Perseus and Medusa, King Midas and Hercules, Pegasus and many more familiar figures from the classical world live again to spark wonder for a new generation of readers!
