CRETE, THE FORERUNNER OF GREECE
BY
C. H. Hawes, M.A. & Harriet B. Hawes, M.A.
With Map, Plans, etc.
Preface by Arthur J. Evans, D.Litt., F.R.S., Etc.
"Mr. and Mrs. Hawes have a fascinating story to tell—the story of the unfolding of a great civilisation which flourished in Crete before Abraham was born. Reading these deeply interesting pages we seem to get right back into the dawn of history. We seem to enter into the feelings of the inhabitants when the ships of the sea-rovers hove in sight. Here a carpenter's kit lies concealed in a cranny; there a carefully mended anvil stands at the door of the village smithy. In the palace at Knossos the system of drainage is superior to any known in Europe between that day and the last century. Most wonderful of all is the art; two small ivory figures of youths leaping, display a life and freedom nothing short of marvellous."
