ANCIENT AND MODERN GREECE
In Greece with Pen and Palette. By Zabelle C. Boyajian. J. M. Dent and Sons Ltd. 205 pp. (15s net.) i Sixteen of her paintings are reproduced in Miss Boyajian’s book, and they have a sunny brightness and clearness that make the famous places and works she paints seem very close and vivid. Her accounts of means of travel and of people met are just as good; but the reader with a mere smattering of classical knowledge—and few in these days have more—will enjoy and inform himself best by gathering up the pieces of literature and history that are referred to or described when the places Miss Boyajian is visiting suggest them. She explored Ithaca, climbed to the temple of Apollo at Delphi, and traced the march of the armies that Thucydides recorded. All her work, painting, observation of modern conditions, and historical memories, is fresh and interesting. The book is handsomely produced, the type face being exceptionally clear and pleasant to read.
