Publisher's Synopsis
From the How They Live Now series - easy-to-read books which introduce young readers to different ways of life all over the world. It is Spring on Dimitra's island. The air is clean and dazzling, and she is glad to be out in the fields after the cold, clammy days of winter when the family gathers round the charcoal brazier to keep warm. Now Easter is coming, and soon it will be her sister's wedding day. Carola Matthews draws a vivid picture of Dimitra's life on her island and of her visit to her sister's new home in Athens, where everything astonishes her - the crowds, the busy shops, the traffic, dazzling electric lights, the way people keep looking at clock and watches instead of telling time by the sun ; and something she has never had before - ice cream.
