Description
A travel writing classic reissued in stunning hardback edition. In 1951, Australian writers Charmian Clift and George Johnston left London for Greece, settling first on Kalymnos and then Hydra, where they aimed to live simply and focus on their writing.
The result was two books that have become beloved by many: Mermaid Singing and Peel Me a Lotus. The companion volume, Peel Me a Lotus, relates their move to Hydra, where they bought a house and navigated the challenges of domestic life amidst an informal community of artists and writers.
Charmian Clift's evocative writing paints a vivid picture of this sun-drenched world, long before mass tourism arrived. This beautifully illustrated edition features original illustrations by Nancy Dignan and is a must-have for anyone interested in travel writing, literary history, or the lives of famous writers.
