About this listen

The colorful characters from Greek mythology come alive in exciting adventures captured by the author of The House of the Seven Gables and The Scarlet Letter. Ride Pegasus, open Pandora' Box, kill Medea with her head of many snakes, join Hercules as he flexes his muscles and King Midas as he turn his daughter into gold. The stories, moral in tone, are totally riveting.

A Wonder Book includes:

1. The Gorgon's Head

2. The Golden Touch

3. The Paradise of Children

4. The Three Golden Apples

5. The Miraculous Pitcher

6. The Chimæra

Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864) is considered to be one of the greatest American authors of the nineteenth century. Born in Salem, Massachusetts, he used Puritan New England as a setting for many of his short stories, allegorical tales, and novels. The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne’s masterpiece, has never been out of print since it was first published in 1850.

Listened to the sample and loved the male narrators voice but this is NOT the narrator who reads the vast majority of the book. So disappointing as the female narrator is American, not easy to listen to, has a somewhat condescending tone and does not capture the spirit of the story so well as the English narrator. The stories are wonderful and the children enjoyed listening, but it did feel like an ordeal rather than a pleasure when she was reading.

Wonderful book, terrible female narrator
