Suggested reading from our library:

Kokonis, Nicholas (2004). Arcadia, My Arcadia. Deerfield, IL: St. Basil's Publishers.

Arcadia, My Arcadia follows the journey of Angelos Vlahos, a young Greek peasant boy, from his remote village in the rugged hills of Arcadia to an urban high school and finally the larger world. Angelos is aided in his journey by the unfailing support of his family and two invaluable teachers. Kokonis comments: “I wished to pay homage to those dedicated teachers who patiently and compassionately mentor the disenfranchised new generations in one-room schoolhouses in every poverty-stricken corner of the globe.” This coming of age story celebrates the importance of tradition, family and education in molding a young life.

The author, Nicholas Kokonis, recently gave a reading and book talk here at St. George's. Click the link to view the original announcement.
