Award-winning biographer Artemis Cooper & acclaimed travel writer Colin Thubron jointly edited Fermor's long awaited last book, The Broken Road
- From the Iron Gates to Mount Athos. The book is the final instalment of a trilogy started with A Time of Gifts & Between the Woods & the Water describing the walk that Patrick Leigh Fermor undertook in the 1930s, at the age of eighteen, from the Hook of Holland to Constantinople. ' When are you going to finish Vol. III?' was the cry from his fans. Although he wished he could, by the time of his death in 2011, he had only managed an early draft. The editors polished the story he had written thus completing such an epic journey. The Broken Road

The long-awaited final volume of the trilogy by Patrick Leigh Fermor. A Time of Gifts & Between the Woods & the Water were the first two volumes in a projected trilogy that would describe the walk that Patrick Leigh Fermor undertook at the age of eighteen from the Hook of Holland to Constantinople. ` When are you going to finish Vol. III?` was the cry from his fans; but although he wished he could, the words refused to come. The curious thing was that he had not only written an early draft of the last part of the walk, but that it predated the other two. It remains unfinished but The Broken Road
- edited & introduced by Colin Thubron & Artemis Cooper
- completes an extraordinary journey.

- ideal for the rehabilitating man. But his recovery is rudely interrupted by a brutal attack on Charles Bourgoyne, a prominent member of the local community.

Archaeologists date the Bronze Age in Europe from about the 5th to the last millennium BC. That span of time saw dramatic changes in civilizations from the Atlantic Ocean to the Black Sea, & from Scandinavia to the Aegean. The discovery of Bronze, an alloy of copper & tin, was a remarkable technological development, permitting the casting of much stronger tools & weapons. Across Europe, the people of the Bronze Age forged metal & traded its products, raised monolithic standing stones, practised similar funerary & religious rites, & decorated their products with the same motifs & symbols. From Cretan palaces to Swiss lakeside dwellings, a common culture arose. In this text the authors explore the story of the Bronze Age, tracing it back beyond the borders of history. ...
