Patrick Leigh Fermor was only 18 when he set off to walk from the Hook of Holland to Constantinople described many years later in A Time of Gifts & Between the Woods & the Water. It was during these early wanderings that he started to pick up languages & where he developed his extraordinary sense of the continuity of history: a quality that deepens the colours of every place he writes about from the peaks of the Pyrenees to the cell of a Trappist monastery. His experiences in wartime Crete sealed the deep affection he had already developed for Greece a country whose character & customs he celebrates in two books Mani & Roumeli & where he has lived for over forty years. Whether he is drawing portraits in Vienna or sketching Byrons slippers in Missolonghi the Leigh Fermor touch is unmistakable.

- all inspired by a passion for words & language that makes him one of the greatest prose writers of his generation.
