This article presents information on the book "Tales of a Greek Island," by Julia D. Dragoumis. The book presents enchanting scenery, climate, and coloring, but a beneficent dearth of motors, carriages, and even of roads in the island of Poros, Greece. To walk and climb and sail under perfect skies with mountains and the sea for patron saints, is the happy occupation of the visitor to this favored corner of Greece For the natives there are fishing and olive-growing, orange packing, raisin-gathering, and lemon-raising. For them, life is laborious and often darkly shadowed.
