$50 · Offered by eBay
DESCRIPTION Nathaniel Hawthorne's enchanting retellings of the great Greek myths for children — Theseus and the Minotaur, Jason and the Golden Fleece, Circe, Hercules, and others — in a handsome Folio Society facsimile edition illustrated by the great Edmund Dulac. Hawthorne believed that the Greek myths could be retold for children without losing their power, and his Tanglewood Tales — the companion to his Wonder Book — proved him gloriously right. His retellings are warm, witty, and full of the moral seriousness that made him one of America's greatest writers. This edition is based on the 1918 publication illustrated by Edmund Dulac — one of the great golden age illustrators — whose fourteen full-colour plates bring Hawthorne's world to brilliant life. BINDING Illustrated boards in slipcase. 14 full-colour plates by Edmund Dulac. Facsimile of the 1918 edition.
