Synopsis

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: Nathaniel Hawthorne and Dark Romanticism


First published in 1853, "Tanglewood Tales” is a collection of children’s stories by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne. Written as a sequel to “A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys” (1851), “Tanglewood Tales” is more serious than its lighthearted predecessor.
The collection is a re-writing of six well-known Greek myths in a volume for children. The tales are “The Minotaur,” “The Pygmies,” “The Dragon’s Teeth,” “Circe’s Palace,” “The Pomegranate Seeds,” and “The Golden Fleece.” Because Hawthorne considered the original myths to be impure and inappropriate for his readership, he altered such stories as the seduction of Ariadne by Theseus and the abduction of Persephone by Pluto.
Hawthorne wrote an introduction, titled "The Wayside", referring to The Wayside in Concord, where he lived from 1852 until his death.
A vibrant selection of mythological tales inspired by some of the most popular figures in Greek lore. “Tanglewood Tales” is filled with heroes and heroines, as well as magicians and kings, whimsical characters and their fantastical stories.

    The Grimsbane women have been hunting witches and monsters for generations—ever since the Watcher, the most powerful witch in the Midwest, cursed the Grimsbane men to die untimely and unusual deaths. Part-time skater, full-time troublemaker Anna Grimsbane may be only twelve, but she's been learning about hunting her whole life and is tired of waiting to do the real thing. She and her twin brother Billy are about to turn thirteen, the age the curse takes hold, and Anna wants to be on the front lines fighting to break it.Only hours before he'll become an accident-prone walking disaster, Billy runs away to find the Watcher himself. The Grimsbane women are all out on patrol, leaving it up to Anna and her friends Suvi and Rosario to find Billy before his recklessness hastens his demise. But the woods are crawling with cryptids, most of whom hate humans, and all of whom hate the Grimsbanes. And the deeper Anna gets into the forest, the clearer it is that reading about witch hunting is no replacement for practical experience.Anna feels in over her head, especially as she starts to suspect she knows much less about her family history than she'd thought. As she races against the clock to find Billy before midnight, it becomes all too evident that he isn't the only Grimsbane at risk for a grisly death tonight.

    A beautifully heartfelt story about one boy's journey toward acceptance. A book that Jill Soloway, the award-winning creator of Transparent, called "a terrific read for all ages" and Ami Polonsky, author of Gracefully Grayson, called "an emotionally complex and achingly real read." 
     
     
     
    Twelve-year-old Shane Woods is just a regular boy. He loves pitching for his baseball team, working on his graphic novel, and hanging out with his best friend, Josh. 
     
     
     
    But Shane is keeping something private, something that might make a difference to his friends and teammates, even Josh. And when a classmate threatens to reveal his secret, Shane's whole world comes crashing down. 
     
     
     
    It will take a lot of courage for Shane to ignore the hate and show the world that he's still the same boy he was before. And in the end, those who stand beside him may surprise everyone, including Shane.
