Historical Note:
Η Ζωή του Παιδιού was one of the most beloved children’s magazines in post-war Greece, offering Christian stories, moral lessons, and illustrations aimed at educating and entertaining young readers. This 1947 run is particularly significant as it was published during the turbulent years of the Greek Civil War, making it not only a charming collectible but also a piece of social and cultural history.

A rare and valuable set for collectors of Greek history, children’s literature, and Christian publications.
