In 1933, at the age of 18, Patrick Leigh Fermor set out on an extraordinary journey by foot - from the Hook of Holland to Constantinople.
This book recounts the trip, and takes the reader with him as far as Hungary.
It discusses about the events which were curdling Europe at that time, but also of its resplendent domes and monasteries, and more.
