Camping in Crete: With Notes Upon the Animal and Plant Life of the Island (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Camping in Crete: With Notes Upon the Animal and Plant Life of the Island
My object in these pages is a very simple one; it is to picture the scenery and natural features of the island, and to lead the reader to go to Crete.
To Miss Dorothea Bate, whose scientific work in the caves of Crete is so well known, I should like to express here my sense of her kindness in having contributed to the pages of this book.
I am greatly indebted to a friend, Mr. W. H. A. Cowell, for kindly having read the proofs of the journeys.
