	Patrick Leigh Fermor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir Patrick 'Paddy' Michael Leigh Fermor,(born 11 February 1915, London) is a British author, scholar and soldier, who played a prominent role behind the lines in the Battle of Crete during World War II.
		As a child, Leigh Fermor had problems with academic structure and limitations.
		The documentary, produced by filmmakers Christos and Michael Epperson, contains extensive interview segments with Leigh Fermor, filmed in 2003, in which he recounts in great detail his service in the S.O.E. and his activities on Crete, including the capture of General Kreipe.

	[MGSA-L] PATRICK LEIGH FERMOR
		Fermor, who was knighted in 2003, is best known in Greece and in his native Britain, where he was born 92 years ago.
		Fermor reported little in the way of reprisals, but another observer, Dr Michael E. Paradise, whose father and two brothers were members of the British intelligence group on Crete, disagrees.
		Similar praise was bestowed on «Roumeli,» Fermor and Rayner's portrait of the northeast corner of Greece, including Mesolongi where Lord Byron (one of Fermor's heroes) fought and died for Greece, when it was published eight years later.

		Leigh Fermor’s treatment of Germany, whose capacity for barbarism he later felt at close quarters, is remarkably even-handed.
		Yet another of Leigh Fermor’s hobbyhorses is costume, of whose history and lexicon he evinces a knowledge almost unseemly in a heterosexual male; clearly a fashion-plate himself, he can’t resist cataloging the dress of everyone he comes across.
		Chatwin’s latest biographer, Nicholas Shakespeare, describes Leigh Fermor as Chatwin’s “last guru” and “a man of action and of knowledge to a degree that Bruce envied.” Chatwin’s ashes are buried near the Leigh Fermors’ house.

		The Violins of Saint-Jacques by Patrick Leigh Fermor
		Leigh Fermor's narrative style can at times seem too introspective, or perhaps a little scholarly, for modern sensibilities: he describes as if through a magnifying lens, and with great erudition, making no compromises to the reader.
		Leigh Fermor's prose is the sort that cannot be broken down: it is concise and evocative, free-flowing, a rare blend of terseness and poetry.

	Patrick (Michael) Leigh Fermor Biography \| Dictionary of Literary Biography
		Patrick Leigh Fermor's life and travel books have earned him comparison with T. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) and a reputation as one of the foremost travel writers of the twentieth century.
		Writing in The New York Times (5 December 1986), John Gross called Leigh Fermor "the preeminent English travel writer of his generation." Leigh Fermor's writing often focuses on areas not particularly well known to American and western European readers, including the Balkans, prewar Slovakia and Hungary, the southern Peloponnese, and the Andes.
		Leigh Fermor's meticulousness, attention to detail, scholarship, and wide-ranging interests make his books valuable eyewitness accounts of cultures that have changed dramatically or even disappeared since his visits to them.

	A Time of Gifts -- Leigh Patrick Fermor Patrick Leigh Fermor Jan Morris
		At the age of eighteen, Patrick Leigh Fermor set off from the heart of London on an epic journey -- to walk to Constantinople.
		Hitler has just come to power but war is still ahead, as he walks through a Europe soon to be forever changed -- through the Lowlands to Mitteleuropa, to Teutonic and Slav heartlands, through the baroque remains of the Holy Roman Empire, up the Rhine and down to the Danube.
		At once a memoir of coming-of-age, an account of a journey, and a dazzling exposition of the English language, "A Time of Gifts" is also a portrait of a continent already showing ominous signs of the holocaust to come.
