New Publication from Benaki (Athens) on Patrick Leigh Fermor

Patrick Leigh Fermor - known as Paddy - was a great travel writer, WW2 war veteran (Greece and Crete campaigns) and lover of all things Hellenic. A new publication from Athen's Benaki Museum is a must for all fans of Paddy.
From time to time, the Benaki Museum publishes a supplement to its regular journal, and the 9th Supplement is a masterpiece dedicated to Patrick Leigh Fermor's (known universally as Paddy) life. 
Well bound, and coffee table book sized, there are over twenty new articles exploring a range of topics including Paddy’s intimates and friends, his walks, the Cretan resistance, wider discussions of Greece, Paddy’s writing and of course the house.
The Benaki have assembled a remarkable collection of writers including Hamish Robertson, Cressida Connolly, the Marques de Tamaron, Nick Hunt, John Kitmer, Chris White, Colin Thubron, John Julius Norwich, Adam Sisman, and Roberto Calasso amongst others.
The supplement is available from the Benaki Museum shop for 18 Euros plus worldwide DHL shipping.
Thanks to the PLF Society for the information.
