Robert Byron biography by James Knox
I'm currently reading a biography of Robert Byron by James Knox. I just happened across a pristine paperback copy in the Book restaurant in Union Connecticut where we stopped for lunch. They give away a free book to every diner. (At that time they were giving three free books away, but I didn't find another I wanted.
I loved "The Road to Oxiana" by Byron, and this book seemed ideal for me- the back cover starts with an endorsement by my hero Patrick Leigh Fermor. The book seems well-written and very enjoyable, with perhaps too much about his days at Eton (since Knox is an old Etonian himself). So far I've just got to the point where he arrives in Athens on his trip East.
