Second Edition; 8vo; pp. ix, 164; portrait frontispiece, 2 plates, 17 figures, appendix, index, original stiff illustrated wrapper, previous owner's inscription to half title page, otherwise a very good copy. "In this present short book-lucid, concise, and admirable-Chadwick tells us something of Ventris and his mind, and of the problems involved in the decipherment of Minoan-Mycenaean scripts. It is written for layman and very well written. It is not only an account of a startling piece of philological and archaeological research, but a simple, moving human story" - Glyn Daniel.
