![]() You can hardly find a well-written book which has not in it Greek names, and words, and proverbs you cannot walk through a great town without passing Greek buildings you cannot go into a well-furnished room without seeing Greek statues and ornaments, even Greek patterns of furniture and paper so strangely have these old Greeks left their mark behind them upon this modern world in which we now live. Those of you who are boys will, perhaps, spend a great deal of time in reading Greek books and the girls, though they may not learn Greek, will be sure to come across a great many stories taken from Greek history, and to see, I may say every day, things which we should not have had if it had not been for these old Greeks. Some of you have heard already of the old Greeks and all of you, as you grow up, will hear more and more of them. ![]() TOKYO ∙ SYDNEY ∙ CAPE TOWN ∙ AUCKLAND ∙ BEIJINGĪ LITTLE PRESENT OF OLD GREEK FAIRY TALES PREFACE PARIS ∙ MADRID ∙ BERLIN ∙ ROME ∙ MEXICO CITY ∙ MUMBAI ∙ SEOUL ∙ DOHA LONDON ∙ NEW YORK ∙ TORONTO ∙ SAO PAULO ∙ MOSCOW ![]() ![]() Charles Kingsley Charles Kingsley The Heroes ![]()
