`A beautiful, a magical book.' From the Foreword by A.L.Rowse
Reviews
`An over mastering instinct drives the author to places that are remote and hard of access. Excellent and unusual photographs accompany keen eyed and evocative descriptions in prose. The author has a remarkable gift for summoning up light, landscape and mood. In her poems she is unabashedly romantic; they are deeply felt and metrically very accomplished. Anyone returning from Greece should get this book at once.' Patrick Leigh Fermor, TLS
`Under Helicon is not just unique and haunting but a triumph of book production. The verse, the photographs and the prose passages lead into one another and set one another off perfectly. I followed every verse, every thought and every line of prose like Theseus led by Ariadne through grottoes of delight.' TheSpectator
