An Amazon Travel Bestseller

Praise for The Greek Islands â€“ A Notebook

â€˜Clark is particularly good on the colours, flavours and scents of Greece. He has got under the skin of the place in a way few outsiders have been able to.â€™
Mark Hudson â€“ Winner Somerset Maugham Award, Thomas Cook Travel Book Award, Samuel Johnson Prize. Bestselling author of Our Grandmothersâ€™ Drums; Coming Back Brockens; The Music in My Head; Titian: The Last Days

â€˜This is a beautifully written book, not just a travel companion but a journey in itself through Greek History, itâ€™s culture and the countryside. Reading this book is an education in itself and I found myself so much the richer in having read it.â€™
E.J. Russell â€“ Bestselling author of Return to the Aegean

â€˜What I liked most about the book was that it was personal and with that came an honesty, no wrappings, no embellishments other than descriptions of Greece itself. I would recommend this book both to people who have never been to Greece as well as to seasoned travellers. It was a joy.â€™
Sarah Alexi â€“ Bestselling author of The Illegal Gardener; Black Butterflies

â€˜Travel literature constitutes the vast majority of my reading these days, and I devour as much online and off as I can. In examining other writers' style and content, I have become accustomed to dipping in and out of work. The extent to which I have been unable to put Richard Clark's book down is a tribute to its compulsive readability.â€™
Travel journalist Emma French, www.phileasfrench.com

'My library contains almost all of the noteworthy books about Greece and her islands and this will be a welcomed addition. I will place it next to my collection of books by the late and great Patrick Leigh Fermor, because I think Richard Clarkâ€™s writing is as close to Fermor as we will ever come again.'
Aurelia Smeltz, author Labyrinthine Ways; A Lone Red Apple

About The Greek Islands â€“ A Notebook

In 1982, on a whim, the English journalist Richard Clark upped sticks and left the country of his birth to go and work as a teacher in Crete. So began a love affair with the Greek Islands, to which he now returns on a regular basis.

The Greek Islands - A Notebook is a series of snapshots of Journeys and Places, Culture and History, and People and Island Life on Greece's enchanted triangle of islands - Corfu, Crete and Rhodes and the islands in between.

Whether a regular visitor or a first time traveler there, this book provides an invaluable insight into life past and present on these beautiful islands.
