The Litany of the Elves is a beautifully composed children's story which draws on Ancient Greek folklore. Originally published in 1919, it was written by John Cuthbert Lawson, a Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge who specialised in Ancient Greece and its cultural traditions. The story includes the song delivered to the narrator by the elves, with a musical score. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in children's literature and Ancient Greece.
