I read this earlier a couple of months ago. I'd heard a lot about Leigh Fermor, and I saw him interviewed on TV a short while before he died. I had been planning to start reading his books for some time. I wasn't disappointed with this one. It was a fascinating story, and beautifully written.
If anyone saw the film Ill Met By Moonlight, you'll remember Patrick Leigh Fermor was the officer who was in charge of the plot to kidnap of the German commander in Crete (he was played by Dirk Bogard in the film). I hear that a Kindle edition of the book on which the film was based is due out soon (in the UK, at least).
