Edited by Lawrence Damian Robinson and the St. Herman of Alaska Brotherhood

“The original Greek version of A Trace in the Sand was first presented in serial form in I Zoe tou Paidou (Child’s Life), a magazine of the Zoe Brotherhood of Theologians, Athens, Greece. It was first published as a book by the brotherhood in 1953 and since then has gone through seven Greek editions. The writing of the story was a collaborative effort by members of the brotherhood.”
