London: John Murray, 1986.
First British edition of the author’s second book in the author’s trilogy that began with A Time of Gifts. Octavo, original cloth. Signed by Patrick Leigh Fermor on the title page. Fine in a fine price-clipped dust jacket. Jacket design by John Craxton. A very sharp example.
John Gross wrote that it was not primarily for the "information it contains that his book deserves to be read (though he packs in a great deal), but for its sumptuous coloring, the acuteness of his responses, the loving precision with which he conjures up people and places" (The New York Times).
