Hawthorne, who, like Edgar Allan Poe, took a dark view of human nature, was a central figure in the American Renaissance. His best-known works include The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables. Hawthorne adapted these fanciful tales for children from classical mythology. Contained within are such memorable stories as The Gorgon's Head, The Chimaera and The Golden Touch, which proved to be quite popular. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty or faded. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing. |
