"Child & Stamp – Young Hero" (10/2024)
Rarely has a magazine left such a mark on the hearts and minds of its readers as ‘Little Hero’ (Mikros Iros), written by Stelios Anemodouras from 1953 to 1968 under the pseudonym Thanos Astritis, and illustrated by Byron Aptosoglou. Rarely has a children’s magazine of its kind reached the mythical number of almost 800 issues without a break, written every week by the same author. Rarely has a magazine of children’s stories cultivated so many values in the minds of its young readers. These are values that they absorbed and still talk of with pride, not hesitating to say that they learned them and built on them by reading Little Hero.
