Armour Bright - The Story Of A Boys Battles
By Lucy Taylor
Published by S.W. Partridge & Co: London c1907 (undated - prize plate dated 1907)
In Original Decorated Cloth Bindings With Frontis

" Tanglewood Tales is Nathaniel Hawthorne's enchanting retelling of the great myths of ancient Greece, specially adapted for younger readers while retaining the wonder, heroism, and imagination of the classical originals. Presented as "A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys," the volume brings to life some of mythology's most enduring characters, including Perseus, Theseus, Hercules, Jason, and Circe. Hawthorne's gift for storytelling transforms these ancient legends into vivid and accessible tales that have delighted generations of readers since their first publication in the nineteenth century.

Set within the charming framework of a group of children gathered at the country estate of Tanglewood, the stories are narrated by the imaginative student Eustace Bright, whose lively introductions and observations help bridge the gap between the modern reader and the ancient world. The collection includes celebrated episodes such as The Gorgon's Head, The Minotaur, The Dragon's Teeth, Circe's Palace, The Pomegranate Seeds, and The Golden Fleece, each retold with warmth, humour, and a keen sense of adventure.

This attractive Frederick Warne edition is further enhanced by its handsome original leather prize bindings and a contemporary 1908 school prize plate from Merton Court School, Sidcup. Such prize presentations provide a tangible connection to the book's early ownership and educational use, adding historical charm to an already beloved classic. Combining mythology, literature, and Edwardian school history, Tanglewood Tales remains a highly desirable work for collectors of children's books, classical literature, and fine prize-bound volumes."
