Thais of Athens

Acknowledgments

Huge thanks to my husband Gerry Seymour who had to put up with months of questions like, “Where in the world is Harmonia?!” and “Any idea where I might find a picture of a battle elephant?”

I bow before my incredible editor Genevieve Graham-Sawchyn, who took upon herself to untangle the grammatical mess that is an enormous work of literature written by a Russian and translated by another (albeit bi-lingual) Russian.

I am grateful to my sisters and brothers in writing for providing feedback on the illustrations and unedited snippets from the book I shared with them, and for cheering me on all the way.
