Sinossi

In "Wonder Book & Tanglewood Tales," Nathaniel Hawthorne creatively retells classic myths and legends, infusing them with his characteristic dark romanticism and moral depth. These tales, aimed at a younger audience, weave together rich narrative styles and vivid imagery, following a framework that encourages both imaginative exploration and moral contemplation. By recounting stories inspired by Greek mythology alongside original fabrications, Hawthorne not only captivates young readers but also subtly engages them in themes of virtue, consequence, and identity, reflecting the complexities of human experience in a whimsical yet profound manner. Nathaniel Hawthorne, a central figure in American literature, emerged from a transcendental environment influenced by the ideas of moral perfection and introspection. His Puritan ancestry and personal struggles with his heritage provided profound insights into human nature, driving his interest in moral storytelling. These factors, combined with his penchant for exploring the darker aspects of the human psyche, ultimately shaped his unique approach in "Wonder Book & Tanglewood Tales," making it not just a children's book but a work imbued with deeper philosophical inquiries. This collection is highly recommended for readers seeking to instill a love of literature and folklore in the younger generation. It serves not only as an enchanting introduction to mythology but also as a platform for discussing virtue and ethics, making it a valuable addition to any literary repertoire.

    The Visions of Beya Bean Blue by Multi-Award Winning Poet/Author zO-AlonzO Gross, Illustrated by Multi-Award Winning Illustrator Salah Mezian is a Brilliantly Written & Illustrated Bonafide modern day classic. Based on the perspective of a boy who is blessed with discernment, innocence, love, beauty, and companionship. Beya Bean Blue, goes beyond a common thread of human understanding that monsters are evil and harmful. He proves that they are not so in the fanciful world of children. It means power of innocence and imagination that children bare in their lives can do wonders. The great romantic and visionary poet William Blake, in Auguries of "To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour". In the same vein, Beya befriends the monsters and they both make a lasting bond as if there is nothing wrong in life. Their hearts pure and immaculate, do not see any distinction between themselves or the world around them. They are meek and innocent like the lambs in the pastures which do not run even they see encounter the wolves as in Blake's classic "Songs of Innocence and Experience". In comparison, the Visions of Beya Bean Blue sees with love beyond the pre-conceived notions associated with Monsters to the heart of the matter which reveals an underlying theme of unconditional love & unwavering acceptance.
