Beneath the porch of the country-seat called Tangle-wood, one fine autumnal morning, was assembled a merry party of little folks, with a tall youth in the midst of them. Beneath the porch of the country-seat called Tanglewood, one fine autumnal morning, was assembled a merry party of little folks, with a tall youth in the midst of them. Há bastante tempo, o autor tem a opinião de que muitos dos mitos clássicos poderiam se tornar uma excelente leitura para crianças. Neste pequeno livro, ora oferecido ao público, trabalhou em meia dúzia deles, com esse objetivo em vista. Ter grande liberdade de tratamento das histórias era necessário a seu plano; mas será observado, por todos que tentarem tornar maleáveis essas lendas em sua fornalha intelectual, que elas são maravilhosamente independentes de todos os modos e circunstâncias temporários. Elas permanecem essencialmente as mesmas depois de mudanças que afretariam a identidade de quase qualquer outra coisa.
