Why this is important
Signed first editions by Xenopoulos are exceptionally scarce. As a leading novelist, dramatist, and editor (founder of Nea Estia and long-time director of The Education of Children), Xenopoulos’ signed books are highly sought by collectors of Greek literature and autograph collectors alike. This copy is both a literary and personal artifact — a superb addition to any specialist collection.
