Excerpt from Under Greek Skies

Dear Little Schoolmate:

If you have read the story of Pilarica and Rafael in sunny Spain, you know that these "Stories for Little Schoolmates" are being written about the child you might have been, if your father and mother - or your grandfathers and grandmothers - had stayed in Spain, or some other far country, instead of coming across the sea to live in America. "In Sunny Spain" told you what you might have been doing a few years ago, if you had been a Spanish child during the Cuban war, and now this new book will tell you how children work and play in Greece.

There are not yet many school children with Greek names in the United States, for most of the Greeks who have come to America have been young unmarried men, or else like Ulysses they have left their wives and children in Greece and mean to go back to them.
