"The Paradise of Children" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a story published in 1851 as part of A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys. It retells the ancient Greek myth of Pandora opening her infamous box, which contained all of mankind's troubles. Like the other tales in Hawthorne's collection, this story is framed as being told by a college student named Eustace Bright to a group of children at Tanglewood in Massachusetts, reimagining classical
mythology for young readers of his time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
