Tanglewood Tales for Boys and Girls (1853) is a book by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne, a sequel to A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys. It is a re-writing of well-known Greek myths in a volume for children. The book includes the myths of: Theseus and the Minotaur (Chapter: The Minotaur) Antaeus and the Pygmies (Chapter: The Pygmies) Dragon's Teeth (Chapter: The Dragon's Teeth) Circe's Palace (Chapter: Circe's Palace) Proserpina, Ceres, Pluto, and the Pomegranate Seed (Chapter: The Pomegranate Seed) Jason and the Golden Fleece (Chapter: The Golden Fleece) Hawthorne wrote introduction, titled The Wayside, referring to The Wayside in Concord, where he lived from 1852 until his death. In the introduction, Hawthorne writes about a visit from his young friend Eustace Bright, who requested a sequel to A Wonder-Book, which impelled him to write the Tales. Although Hawthorne informs us in the introduction that these stories were also later retold by Cousin Eustace, the frame stories of A Wonder-Book have been abandoned
