The story of Nearchus, who comes as a page to the court of King
Philip of Macedon, where he befriends the young Alexander the
Great. In company with other boys, Nearchus and Alexander divide
their time between lessons, and gymnastic and military drill. We
follow them on an all-night tramp under one instructor and share
their joy when their new tutor, Aristotle, arrives. The story
revolves around the differing gifts of the boys and predictions
about what fortune holds in store for each of them.

on their journey from home to market-place, wonder at the

participate in the Olympic games. Attractive black and white
illustrations enliven the text. A volume in the Our Little Cousins
of Long Ago series. Suitable for ages 8 and up.
