| Summary | "Cuando la tierra era niña" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a collection of children's stories written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Eustaquio Bright, a young storyteller who entertains a lively group of children with remarkable tales, including the mythological adventure of Perseus and the Gorgons. The book blends elements of fantasy and folklore, appealing to younger audiences while exploring themes of bravery and curiosity. The opening of the book introduces a picturesque autumn morning where a group of children eagerly waits for the mist to clear so they can embark on a walnut-picking expedition. Eustaquio Bright, their charismatic cousin, is sought after for his storytelling talents, and the children, including characters whimsically named Primavera, Amapola, and Trébol, implore him to tell a story as they bide their time. He promises to share a tale about ancient myths that once entertained the Earth when she was a child, setting the stage for the enchanting narratives that follow. The chapter not only establishes a playful atmosphere among the children but also hints at the rich folklore that will be unveiled through Eustaquio's storytelling.
