This valedictory volume is the quintessence of [Alan] Ross a deft and deceptively airy set of literary wanderings through a part of the Mediterranean - the islands of the south-western coast of Italy - he had known since being demobilised from the Royal Navy at the end of the Second World War... Rosss memoir is a showcase for a supremely poetic sensibility and a naturally gifted writer with an unerring eye for detail reporting on his experience with an infectiously joyous lyricism. Eldon King Observer

A fund of associative literary information that could only have been amassed by a passionate reader. Gorky Ibsen Rilke DH Lawrence Walter Benjamin Pablo Neruda and scores more wrote in or near Ischia; Ross describes their books and their lives with detailed succinctness en route dipping in and out of his own thoughts and travel observations. Helen Simpson Guardian

"Alan Ross" (1922-2001) was a poet, writer, journalist, editor and publisher. In fact, he was a man of letters par excellence. Born in India, educated in England, he joined the Royal Navy in the Second World War and endured the Arctic convoys to Russia. Alan Ross took over The London Magazine (the definite article was later dropped) from John Lehmann and revitalized it. There, it has been said, 'he simplified as well as unified contemporary culture by the clarity of his unique editorial taste. He also discovered many new talents.'His writing embraced poetry, cricket journalism, biography, autobiography, criticism and travel writing. Many of his titles are to be reissued in Faber Finds.
