Stryjenska. 8vo 721pp. with four pictures by Z. Stryjenska being decorations of the Polish National Pavilion in the Paris Exhibition of 1926. from Foreword: "The things in this book happened between the years 228 B.C. and 187 B.C. Some of the things really happened, and some of the oddest things are said to have happened by Plutarch and others who call themselves historians. The place called Marob is not historically real, but people on the shores of the Black Sea, and thereabouts, made very beautiful things, of the kind which Berris Der made. For the rest, I have tried to deduce a place, from a good deal of evidence of actual ideas and happenings in all sorts of other times and places." #02456.
