Produced by Madeleine Fournier. Images made available by the Internet Archive "Tanglewood Tales" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a collection of children's stories written in the mid-19th century. The book reimagines classic myths and legends, framing them through the lens of moral lessons and enchanting narratives aimed at young readers. The stories feature various heroes and mythical creatures, such as Theseus, the Minotaur, and Pygmies, all woven together with themes of bravery and adventure. At the start of the collection, we are introduced to Theseus, a young prince raised by his mother Æthra, who dreams of meeting his father, King Ægeus of Athens. As he matures, he learns of a heavy stone that holds his father's sword and sandals beneath it, symbols of his royal lineage. Determined to claim his identity, Theseus lifts the stone, retrieves the items, and vows to embark on a perilous journey to Athens, where he confronts the Minotaur, a fearsome beast demanding tributes from his city. Meanwhile, the narrative unfolds with tales of Theseus' heroic deeds, setting the stage for his eventual encounters with danger and challenge in the chapters that follow.
