Product Description

Oneword Radio, Paul Blezard, review, 19 June 03

'should be on every creative writing course syllabus as an example of travel writing at its best'.


The Anglo-Hellenic Review

'Edward Enfield's jaunty prose certainly begins to convince you that it would be worth the trip'

5.0 out of 5 stars the best travel book ever!, 24 Jul 2003
By A Customer
There are many books written by those who have gone to live in Spain, Italy, France etc but I have not been able to track down any about life after moving to Greece. I stumbled across the author's book whilst on my search for such a book and what a find.

The writing is perceptive, witty and most of all makes you feel that you want to get on your bike and make the journey yourself.

The author's son Harry may be the most famous member of the Enfield family but if the author continues to write such excellent travellogues I fear that may not be the case for long!

Can't wait for his next book!

4.0 out of 5 stars For the "armchair" Grecian cyclist!, 7 Dec 2008
By Uncle Barbar (Essex, England) - See all my reviews
  
I have read Enfield's book on cycling in France and also when he "freewheeled" through Ireland and enjoyed both immensely.

I really like Mr. Enfield senior's style - he has a way about his writing that exudes kindly old gentleman.

That said, I was a little disappointed with this book. I felt that he was shoe-horning facts in here and there to bulk out the book and it didn't really flow like the Ireland and France books.

That apart I still really enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone who would love to cycle round Greece but who isn't up to it - either through age, ill-health or sloth!

1.0 out of 5 stars A Crushing Disappointment!, 22 Feb 2006
Knowing the area covered well, I was really looking forward to a good, nostalgic read. Sadly, what I encountered was not a example of "the best travel writing" but a boring and monotonous diary of uninteresting factoids trotted out one after another.

I'm afraid that, apparently like all of us, Mr Enfield had a book inside him - in this case it was a pity that some misguided publisher chose to unleash it. I truly can find nothing positive to say about this collection of ramblings other than "avoid at all costs"!
