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. Its infectious enthusiasm is driven by an insatiable curiosity & an omnivorous mind
- all inspired by a passion for words & language that makes him one of the greatest prose writers of his generation.
