In this delightful collection of ancient myths, the American novelist, Nathaniel Hawthorne, retells some of the best-loved classical stories, such as 'The Gorgon's Head', in which Perseus slays Medusa, King Midas, whose touch turned everything to gold, the opening of Pandora's Box, Heracles' procurement of the three golden apples from the Hesperides' orchard, and Bellerophon's taming of Pegasus.
Every story is beautifully illustrated with the wonderful, full colour art of Walter Crane, making this collection a delightful asset for any modern library or collector of traditional tales.
The Arcturus Masterpiece Classics series brings together timeless works of literature, beautifully presented with gilded page edges and classic, full-colour illustrations by master artists.
