The Villa Ariadne is a meditation on the island of Crete, centred
on the house built by Sir Arthur Evans, the famous archaeologist of
Knossos. Dilys Powell captures the spirit of a place she loved
dearly and a group of people she knew well, from local Cretans to
the archaeologists Evans and Pendlebury, and the German General
Kreipe who was famously kidnapped on the island by Paddy
Leigh-Fermor in one of the most audacious actions of World War II.
Weaving the myths of the island with its archaeology, ancient
history and modern tales, she gives us a loving portrait of this
classical land.
