Eustace Bright, a college student home for the holidays, tells a story to the children at Tanglewood. It is the story of Bellerophon, a young man who wants to tame the winged horse Pegasus. Pegasus drinks from a spring at the foot of a mountain, and no one has ever mounted him. The land is also troubled by the Chimaera, a monster that breathes fire. Nathaniel Hawthorne retells the Greek myth for young readers in A Wonder-Book. Read by Gid Newell. About an hour and a quarter.
