Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story of Hawthorne Do you know that delightful book of myths and fairy tales, The Tanglewood Tales a wonder-book for girls and boys? It is all about Pandora´s wonderful box, the Gorgons head, the golden touch of King Midas, Jason´s marvelous search for the Golden Fleece, the adventures of Hercules in quest of the Golden Apples, and other delightful classical myths which are nobody knows how old. They are told by Eustace Bright, a. young man just home from college, and a very prince of story tellers. His little cousins are never tired of hearing his marvelous tales. "His stories are good to hear at night," said little Cowslip, "because we can dream about them asleep; and good in the morning, too, because then we can dream about them awake." So you see just how truly delightful they were. But there was really no such person as Eustace Bright. He was made by the pen of a very clever writer indeed, Mr. Nathaniel Hawthorne. He was himself the clever student just home from college, and he told stories for his own amusement to a purely imaginary group of cousins, whom he called by such odd names as Primrose, Periwinkle, Sweet Fern, Dandelion, Blue Eye, Clover, Huckleberry, Cowslip, Squash-Blossom, Milkweed, Plantain, and Buttercup.
