Features: Mythology for Boys and Girls is a delightful reading material adapted from Greek and Roman mythology, favored by young men and women. The entire text is woven through with the narrative of a university student telling stories to children in his countryside residence. It includes tales such as Perseus slaying the Gorgon Medusa, the story of Pandora's Box, Heracles stealing the Golden Apples, and Bellerophon killing the fire-breathing Chimera. The book also features two stories: The Three Golden Apples and The Golden Hand. The Golden Hand satirizes the notion of money being all-powerful, implying that the truly valuable thing is human love. Hawthorne's novels construct a mysterious and fantastical artistic world where he can engage readers with the intrigue of the plot while simultaneously guiding their moral education.
