ABOUT THIS BOOK
For two Greek boys have I made this littlebook, which tells them in English some ofthe stories that they soon will read for themselvesin the tongue of their forefathers.
But the stories are not only for boyswhose fatherland lies near the sunny seathrough which ships, red-prowed and black,fared in the long-ago days.
Of such great deeds, by such brave men,do they tell, that they must make the heartsof all English boys, and of boys of everynation under the sun, grow big within them.
And when, in the gallant-sounding musicof the Greek tongue in which the tales firstwere told, these boys read the story of theSiege of Troy, they must surely long to fightas fought the Greeks in days of old, and longto be heroes such as those who fought andwho died without fear for the land thatthey loved.
JEANIE LANG.
