Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864), was an American novelist and short story writer. He is seen as a key figure in the development of American literature for his tales of the nation's colonial history. Hawthorne's work belongs to Romanticism, an artistic and intellectual movement characterized by an emphasis on individual freedom from social conventions or political restraints, on human imagination, and on nature in a typically idealized form. He is best-known today for his many short stories (he called them "tales") and his four major romances: The Scarlet Letter (1850), The House of the Seven Gables (1851), The Blithedale Romance (1852) and The Marble Faun (1860).

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A very likable retelling of a Greek classic for children By Israel Drazin This is a classic Greek tale retold by a master story teller for children. The retelling is filled with subtle humor, but some of the language contains words that most young children will not know. Two things follow: This is an opportunity for parents and children to interact with parents defining the difficult words. Alternatively, this is not a book for very young children. But, the story should be known because it has become a part of world culture. The story is about Perseus, who with his mother were placed in a basket and sent off in the river by evil people who wanted them dead. The two land on in an area where every inhabitant is bad except for the fisherman who found them and raised Perseus. When Perseus grew, the king wanted him dead and wanted to mistreat his mother. The king persuaded Perseus to undertake a mission of bringing back to him the head of the monster Medusa, one of three Gogons who wore snakes instead of hair. The problem was that anyone who looked at a Gorgon would be turned to stone. Perseus undertook the mission, but had no idea how he could accomplish it.He meets Quicksilver who helps him by introducing him to three gray women who shared a single eye, Quicksilver’s sister who was exceptionally wise, and three pretty women who gave him three objects that he could use to accomplish his mission.Children will enjoy reading or hearing the adventure read to them and finding out what happens to the wicked king who sent him on this terrible journey and what happens to all the wicked people in his kingdom.
