"A Wonder Book" is a collection of classic Greek myths retold for children, originally written by Nathaniel Hawthorne and first published in 1851. The book was later illustrated by the renowned British artist Arthur Rackham, whose illustrations have become iconic in their own right. Rackham's edition of "A Wonder Book" was published in 1922, bringing a new visual dimension to Hawthorne's retellings.

Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) was one of the leading illustrators of the Golden Age of British book illustration, which spanned from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. His work is characterized by its intricate detail, rich color palettes, and a whimsical yet sometimes eerie quality that perfectly complements the fantastical elements of the stories he illustrated. Rackham's illustrations for "A Wonder Book" include a series of color plates and black-and-white drawings that capture the essence of the mythological tales.

"A Wonder Book" includes six myths: "The Gorgon's Head," "The Golden Touch," "The Paradise of Children," "The Three Golden Apples," "The Miraculous Pitcher," and "The Chimæra." Each story is presented in a manner accessible to children, with Hawthorne's narrative style blending moral lessons with engaging storytelling. Rackham's illustrations add a layer of enchantment, bringing characters like King Midas, Perseus, and Pandora to life with his distinctive artistic flair.

The collaboration between Hawthorne's timeless prose and Rackham's evocative illustrations has made this edition of "A Wonder Book" a cherished classic. It continues to be appreciated by both children and adults for its literary and artistic merits. The book stands as a testament to the enduring power of myth and the transformative impact of visual art in storytelling.
