Review
Paddy's portrayal of the islands could be said to have jump-started the tourism industry upon which the Caribbean has since largely depended (Geographical Magazine)
Being a natural romantic ... he was able to probe the hidden recesses of this mixed civilisation and to present us with a picture of the Indies more penetrating and original than any that has been presented before (Harold Nicolson, The Observer)
He is the ideal traveller, inquisitive, humorous and vivid in depicting (Sunday Times)
Bringing the landscape alive as no other writer can, he uses his profound and eclectic understanding of cultures and peoples ... to paint vivid pictures - nobody has illuminated the geography of Europe better (Geographical Magazine)
John Murray is doing the decent thing and reissuing all of Leigh Fermor's main books ... But what else would you expect from a publisher whose commitment to geography is such that for more than two centuries it has widened our understanding of the world? (Geographical Magazine)
A substantial and fascinating work, with the adventurer's signature across every page (Daily Mail)
No-one has captured and evoked the extraordinary differences between the islands better (Geographical Magazine)
Amusing, knowledgeable, and percipient, it is everything a travel book should be. (The Good Book Guide)
From the Publisher
Dubbed 'a classic of travel writing' by the Observer, this is the first John Murray B-format paperback edition of this book by the legendary Patrick Leigh Fermor, who was finally knighted in the 2004 New Year Honours list. The new edition features a refreshed cover, incorporating the now-iconic original artwork by John Craxton.
