Actually not all quite fiction as the Gerald Durrell book is his about family living on the island of Corfu, UK visitors will remember the TV series. Of course we had to include books by Nikos Kazantzakis, including the famous Zorba The Greek!
We have also included ‘The Island’ by Victoria Hislop, a fictional account of life on Spinalonga when it was used as a leper colony. It may not be totally factual but there are enough deaths and bits of bad luck to classify it as a Greek tragedy!

On the carousel to the right we feature some books on Greek mythology. Some of these are’factual’ and some are story books based on Greek mythology, some are suitable for children of all ages!
Naturally we include some Mary Renault books in our favourites, her treatment of homosexuality in ancient Greece has often been criticised, unfairly we feel!
