Trailing Pythagoras

"George Galt recounts his personal experiences travelling through the Aegean Islands with his wife Fay. In addition to a host of incredible characters encountered along the way, Galt has to contend with the legend of the Greek philosopher Pythagoras and the ghost of his own ancestor John Galt, who explored the same terrain early in the 19th century.(it) is not only a delightful account of an enviable journey, but also a meditation on people and places and on time that transforms them.".200p, Author inscription on title page. Later reissued under the title "A Journey Through the Aegean Islands" ].
