<영어로 읽는 고전 _ 나다니엘 호손의 소년과 소녀들을 위한 이야기>
"A Wonder Book and Tanglewood Tales, for Girls and Boys"는 Nathaniel Hawthorne의 동화 모음집이다. "A Wonder Book"은 1851년에 처음 출판되었으며 "Tanglewood Tales"는 1853년에 출판되었다. 두 컬렉션 모두 Hawthorne 자신의 상상력이 풍부한 장식을 통해 젊은 독자가 접근할 수 있는 스타일로 그리스 신화의 고전 신화를 다시 설명하고 있다.
"A Wonder Book"에서 Hawthorne은 페르세우스, 미다스, 판도라 등의 이야기를 포함하여 여섯 가지 그리스 신화를 제시하고 있다. 이 이야기는 주위에 모인 한 무리의 어린이들에게 이야기를 들려주는 유스테스 브라이트(Eustace Bright)의 이야기다. 호손은 신화에 자신만의 해석과 도덕적 교훈을 더해 신화를 재미있고 유익하게 만들었다.
"Tanglewood Tales"는 비슷한 맥락으로 계속되어 Hawthorne의 독특한 서술 스타일과 도덕적 통찰력으로 더 많은 그리스 신화를 다시 이야기하고 있다. 이 컬렉션에는 "미노타우로스", "피그미족", "황금 양털" 등의 이야기가 포함되어 있다.


"A Wonder Book and Tanglewood Tales, for Girls and Boys" is a collection of fairy tales by Nathaniel Hawthorne. "A Wonder Book" was first published in 1851, and "Tanglewood Tales" was published in 1853. Both collections retell the classic myths of Greek mythology in a style accessible to young readers, with Hawthorne's own imaginative embellishments.
In "A Wonder Book," Hawthorne presents six Greek myths, including stories of Perseus, Midas, Pandora, and others. This story is about Eustace Bright, who tells a story to a group of children gathered around him. Hawthorne added his own interpretations and moral lessons to his myths, making them entertaining and informative.
"Tanglewood Tales" continues in a similar vein, retelling more Greek myths with Hawthorne's unique narrative style and moral insight. This collection includes stories such as “The Minotaur,” “The Pygmies,” and “The Golden Fleece.”

Summary
Beneath the porch of the country-seat called Tanglewood, one fine autumnal morning, was assembled a merry party of little folks, with a tall youth in the midst of them. They had planned a nutting expedition, and were impatiently waiting for the mists to roll up the hill-slopes, and for the sun to pour the warmth of the Indian summer over the fields and pastures, and into the nooks of the many-colored woods. There was a prospect of as fine a day as ever gladdened the aspect of this beautiful and comfortable world. As yet, however, the morning mist filled up the whole length and breadth of the valley, above which, on a gently sloping eminence, the mansion stood.
