About This Item
London: BCA, 1978. First edition thus in same year of publication as the Faber version to which it is identical in size and lay-out etc. Hardback. 7.5" by 10". Very Good copy in price-clipped DW which has some creases and a section on the back which has been torn and then reinforced on reverse side to keep it intact. 287 pages including index. Integrated into the text are over 100 excellent illustrations many of which are in colour. Durrell revisited the Greek Islands in which he had lived for many years to write this very personal guide. It weaves together reminiscence, evocative description, history and myth, architecture and archeology. This is a heavy item so extra postage will be required. .
