<br/><br/> "A Wonder Book for Girls & Boys" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a children's book published in 1851. The collection retells six Greek myths through a frame story: a college student named Eustace Bright shares these tales with children at Tanglewood in Massachusetts. Hawthorne reimagines classic stories including Perseus and Medusa, King Midas, Pandora's Box, and Bellerophon's defeat of the Chimera, transforming ancient mythology into adventures accessible to young readers while adding moral lessons throughout.
