A Time-traveller's Tour of Historic & Prehistoric Places
The Living Past of Greece offers an ingenious combination of chronology and topography which the reader will find he can use as a field guide, when actually visiting sites, or for more simple and solitary enjoyment from the comfort of an armchair.
