From the French Abbey of St Wandrille to the abandoned and awesome Rock Monasteries of Cappadocia in Turkey, the celebrated travel writer Patrick Leigh Fermor studies the rigorous contemplative lives of the monks and the timeless beauty of their monastic surroundings. In his occasional retreats, the peaceful solitude and the calm enchantment of the monasteries was passed on as a kind of 'supernatural windfall' which A Time to Keep Silence so effortlessly records.

International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased charges will be quoted. Patrick Leigh Fermor was only 18 when he set off to walk from the Hook of Holland to Constantinople, described many years later in "A Time of Gifts" and "Between the Woods and the Water". It was during these early wanderings that he started to pick up languages, and where he developed his extraordinary sense of the continuity of history: a quality that deepens the colours of every place he writes about, from the peaks of the Pyrenees to the cell of a Trappist monastery. His experiences in wartime Crete sealed the deep affection he had already developed for Greece, a country whose character and customs he celebrates in two books, "Mani" and "Roumeli", and where he has lived for over forty years. Whether he is drawing portraits in Vienna or sketching Byron's slippers in Missolonghi, the Leigh Fermor touch is unmistakable. Its infectious enthusiasm is driven by an insatiable curiosity and an omnivorous mind - all inspired by a passion for words and language that makes him one of the greatest prose writers of his generation.

First editions of each volume in Leigh Fermor's trilogy. Octavo, original cloth, pictorial endpapers, illustrated with maps. A Time of Gifts is signed by Patrick Leigh Fermor on the front free endpaper. Between the Woods and the Water is an association copy, lengthily inscribed by Patrick Leigh Fermor on the front free endpaper to Daphne Fielding with with a large ink sketch of a cloudy beach scene covering the entire page, "To darling Daphne, with tons of fond love from Paddy." The recipient, Daphne Fielding (1904ā"1997) was a British socialite and writer whose memoirs and biographical works offered a vivid portrait of aristocratic life in the early twentieth century. Born Daphne Vivian, daughter of the 4th Baron Vivian, she married Henry Thynne, 6th Marquess of Bath, and became Marchioness of Bath before their divorce in 1953. Fielding was closely connected to the āBright Young Thingsāā"a group of bohemian aristocrats and artists whose flamboyant lifestyles captured public imagination in interwar Britainā"and maintained friendships with many prominent literary figures, including Evelyn Waugh. Waugh, who shared her interest in the idiosyncrasies of upper-class life, dedicated his 1957 novelĀThe Ordeal of Gilbert PinfoldĀto Fielding and her best-known works includedĀThe Nearest Way HomeĀ(1970), a memoir of her unconventional upbringing, andĀThe Duchess of Jermyn Street (1978), a biography of her mother-in-law, Daisy Fellowes. With wit, candor, and an insiderās perspective, Fielding documented a vanishing world of privilege, eccentricity, and decline within the British upper classes. The Broken Road, which was published posthumously, is signed by editor Artemis Cooper on the title page. Each are near fine to fine in very good to fine dust jackets. Jacket artwork by John Craxton.

Jan Morris called it "[n]othing short of a masterpiece." "Rightly considered to be among the most beautiful travel books in the language" (Independent). "[Patrick Leigh Fermor] stands beside Robert Byron as the finest travel writer of his generation" (Colin Thubron).
