Housed in a custom blue quarter-leather slipcase with folding chemise. BAL 7614. Tanglewood Tales is a collection of retold stories from ancient Greek mythology and the sequel to Hawthorne's A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys (1851). Specifically, it includes "The Minotaur," "The Pygmies," "The Dragon's Teeth," "Circe's Palace," "The Pomegranate Seeds," and "The Golden Fleece." As with the stories in Wonder-Book, Hawthorne adapted these classic tales for younger readers not only by simplifying their plots, but also by removing "every thing that is abhorrent to our Christianized moral sense" and inserting the "blessed sunshine" of the Greek tragedians. Henry Arthur Bright (1830 - 1884) was an English merchant and author (Year in a Lancashire Garden, 1879). Bright met Hawthorne in Concord, MA in 1852, by a letter of introduction from mutual friend Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The next year, Hawthorne settled in Liverpool as American Consul; they became close friends and traveled extensively throughout England together. Bright was a literary critic for the Examiner and a contributor to the Athenaeum. In 1855, Bright wrote a humorous piece about Hawthorne in the style of Longfellow's "Song of Hiawatha" titled "Song of Consul Hawthorne." In his essay "Consular Experiences" (1863), Hawthorne wrote of Bright: "Bright was the illumination of my dusky little apartment, as often as he made his appearance there!" When Hawthorne died in 1864, Longfellow wrote to Bright, "I am glad to know how deeply you feel this loss; for I know, having heard it from his own lips, that he liked you more than any man in England.". Signed. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. Illus. by Billings, Hammatt. 1853. Boston: Ticknor Reed & Fields US

Dealer: Abebooks, river break books
Description: [publisher: Desmond Publishing Co., Boston, Massachusetts] Hardcover Undated volume in childrens series; possibly 1899. Fine green cloth without jacket. Exterior is very clean and square along the edges. Gilt lettering and decorated title block on spine are excellent. The rear board has a faint, vague handful of spots which are only visible if put to light. Interior is very clean and tightly bound. Most significant mark to book might be considered an artifact of used book history. The front fep contains a nicely composed pencil scrawl/sketch, by an apparent young child, of a person's head with wide eyes and an open mouth. This sketch is the extent of marks in the entire book. Interior is otherwise free of marks or age-tanning. Frontispiece with tissue guard is excellent. [fort benton, MT, U.S.A.]
