There are books that entertain for a season, and there are books that become lifelong companions.

Nathaniel Hawthorne's Wonder Book for Boys and Girls and Tanglewood Tales belong among the latter. For generations, these enchanting retellings of the Greek myths have introduced young readers to heroes and monsters, magical gardens and perilous quests, while awakening a sense of wonder that lasts far beyond childhood.

Through stories of Perseus, Theseus, Jason, Pandora, Midas, and many others, children encounter courage and cowardice, wisdom and folly, sacrifice and reward. These timeless tales help cultivate what Russell Kirk called the moral imagination—the ability to recognize goodness, beauty, and truth in human experience.

Together, these companion volumes form the heart of Nathaniel Hawthorne's mythology collection and a cornerstone of the Living Books Press Moral Imagination Series.

✓ The Annotated Wonder Book for Boys and Girls

✓ The Annotated Tanglewood Tales

✓ Expanded glossaries created especially for today's readers, making unfamiliar words and references accessible while preserving the beauty of Hawthorne's original language
