This is one of the popular Greek myths about Proserpina. When Demeter's young daughter, Proserpina, is kidnapped by the king of the underworld, the earth-goddess decrees that nothing will grow on Earth until the girl is returned to her. It is adapted here by Nathaniel Hawthorne for children. This story is taken from "A Wonder Book for Girls and Boys."
