Synopsis:
From reviews:
"An English boy and girl on a picnic swim across a little stream and when they land on the opposite shore find themselves in ancient Greece." During a one-year stay they learn from the Greeks and vice versa.
--The Times of India 1957-09-01 p4, in "Children's Books" (Hodder & Stoughton edition, price 12/6)
They emerge from the waters of Lethe, and "life is hard and poor among the peasants"; ... "a sure touch and no false romanticism". And no Athens.
--The Manchester Guardian 1957-04-12 p8, in "Anywhere but here and now" by Mary Crozier
