COOPER, Artemis. Patrick Leigh Fermor. An Adventure. London: John Murray, 2012.
First edition. Signed by the author to title-page.
Patrick Leigh Fermor (1915-2011) was a war hero whose exploits in Crete are legendary, and above all he is widely acclaimed as one of the greatest travel writers, notably for his trilogy chronicling his youthful adventures during his epic trans-European walk in the 1930s. Artemis Cooper has drawn on years of interviews and conversations with Fermor and his closest friends, and has had complete access to his archive. This is an outstanding biography of a one of the finest and most fascinating writers in British letters.
