DESCRIPTION:
About the Author Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864), though best known for his novels and short stories for adults, also produced several works for children, including a companion volume to A Wonder Book called Tanglewood Tales (1853). About the Illustrator: Walter Crane (1845-1915) was one of the most popular English illustrators of children's books in the late nineteenth century. He was one of the first book artists to experiment with color in picture books.
The children's edition of this classic book, published here, makes for wonderful educational and character-building reading for school-age readers.. It is a work of considerable importance, not only as a source of information about the individuals biographized, but also about the times in which they lived. The Lives of Plutarch is a series of biographies of famous men, arranged in tandem to illuminate their common moral virtues or failings, written in the late 1st century
Perfect for read-aloud This is a wonderful adaptation and abridgment of Plutarch. It makes the stories accessible even to younger children while preserving Plutarch's style.
