Patrick Leigh Fermor : a memoir

Includes bibliographical references.

In 2009, Patrick Leigh Fermor's Spanish-language translator, Dolores Payás, visited her subject for the first time in his house in Greece. Out of this first encounter came a friendship that lasted until the writer's death two years later. This charming account was born of those hours spent in his company, a highly personal and moving depiction of the legendary adventurer and man of letters during his final years, surrounded by his drinks, his guests and, above all, his books. Patrick Leigh Fermor (1915–2011) was one of the finest travel writers of the twentieth century, author of books including A Time of Gifts (1977), Between the Woods and the Water (1986) and The Broken Road (published posthumously in 2013).
