Patrick Leigh Fermor

About

Sir Patrick Michael Leigh Fermor was an English writer, scholar, soldier and polyglot. He was prominent behind the lines in the Cretan resistance in the Second World War, and was widely seen as Britain's greatest living travel writer, on the basis of books such as A Time of Gifts (1977). A BBC journalist once termed him "a cross between Indiana Jones, James Bond and Graham Greene".
