'Magnificent . . . The prose has the glorious turbulence and boil
of the first two books, and the youthful magic of his
'dream-odyssey' ROBERT MACFARLANE, The Times 'Vivid . . . full of
fun, kindness, easy learning, sophistication and innocence . . . a
gently fitting conclusion to his tumultuous masterpiece' JAN
MORRIS, Mail on Sunday 'A major work . . . one of the masterpieces
of the genre, indeed one of the masterworks of post-war English
non-fiction' WILLIAM DALRYMPLE, Guardian 'Filled with brilliant
evocations of [Patrick Leigh Fermor's] life on the road . . .
essential reading' The Economist A Time of Gifts and Between the
Woods and the Water were the first two volumes in a projected
trilogy that would describe the walk that Patrick Leigh Fermor
undertook at the age of eighteen from the Hook of Holland to
Constantinople. 'When are you going to finish Vol. III?' was the
cry from his fans; but although he wished he could, the words
refused to come. The curious thing was that he had not only written
an early draft of the last part of the walk, but that it predated
the other two. It remains unfinished but The Broken Road - edited
and introduced by Colin Thubron and Artemis Cooper - completes an
extraordinary journey.
